You might think that The Walking Dead is a typical zombie apocalypse TV show, but it goes more in depth than simply killing dead people. It shows how civilization would change, and how morals would change, in an apocalyptic world. Everyone is trying to survive and fight the dead. It would make sense for the living to team up against the dead. However, if you come across a stranger with food when you are starving, what stops you from killing him and taking his food? These situations get more complex when you are the person with food. How do you know someone else isn’t going to kill you to steal your food and supplies? They can’t if you kill them first.
          In The Walking Dead, Rick travels and lives with his small group of people, and they survive by trusting each other and staying together. They took over a prison that was rundown by walkers, and they lived there. It was the safest place they could live in. Then Rick crosses paths with The Governor. The Governor had set up the town of Woodberry not far from the prison. It was a walled city without walkers, and the people were controlled and lived in the dark. The Governor oppressed them, but it can be argued that their way of life was better with him than it would be without. It is also interesting that they named this oppressive plundering ruler, “The Governor.” In a world where all government has fallen, oppressive “governors” still take charge and tell other people how to live their life.
          The Governor told Rick he and his group must leave the prison or he will wipe them out. The Governor has a small army and heavily outguns Rick. Rick faces a dilemma. Assassinate The Governor and save his people, run and risk the lives of everyone in his group, or stand and fight and get wiped out.
