Why is the issue worth considering? - Throughout history, epidemics have destroyed incredible portions of densely populated bastions of humanity when these civilizations had been ill-prepared for the situation. Hispaniola and Christopher Columbus' slaughtering of the native population and sending them into extinction with disease. The Black Death. Enough said. Newer viruses have seen less and less success in spreading thanks to the safety nets in place. But something like the zombie epidemic would be a whole new monster. With all the mutating super bugs and infections forming from antibody resistance building, the zombie virus could be right around the corner. People are getting crazier and crazier too. Some brilliant maniac could be purposefully concocting his zombie doomsday serum as we speak.
Who is interested in exploring or debating the issue? - Definitely us Sci-fi and horror nerds lolz! But in seriousness the authorities here would be behavioral neuroscientists, biologists, the medical field, center for disease control, national guard and authorties who made need to deal with the situation if it occurs.
How did you choose you sources? - I felt i didn't find the sources, I felt as though one lead to the next and since my topic is theoretical, I had to do some reaching and creative thinking. Finding realistic applications was my main concern here.
How do your sources make claims and positions? - Many of the sources are information and previously know topics that relate so they mostly help my claims. I searched out examples of similar symptoms in nature and the mere existence of these methods of control that actually exist makes the claim that, "ya there are possibilities." Some more rare then others but they do support that the out break is possible.
Why should readers see you as a credible researcher and participant in the conversation? - Well for one, my friends and I talked about out zombocalype escape usually at least once every hang out sesh. Game plans on where to get weapons, food, gas, transport. But seeing as this subject is very theoretical i think my logos and real life application of knowledge will reach my audience best.
