The Walking Dead: a multicultural space.


In fact, the whole planet is a multicultural space.
Although millions of people in different countries do not want to recognize.
But, during the time of the duration of the series, during each episode, millions of people around the world, share the "space" of it.
This is "the magic of TV."
That a serial murderer to sympathize with the victims of a serial murderer of fiction.
The hypocrisy of tolerating the fictional multiculturalism and reject the possibility of a real one.
Again, “ during the time of the duration of the series, during each episode, millions of people around the world, share the "space" of it.”


Regardless of the day of issuance of the content.
In some countries, on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or any other day of the week.
Thus the multicultural space of each episode is the content of each chapter.
The space the personages is the same space as the audience.
We walked the same paths in the woods, walk the same routes.
Feel and live the same events.
We are in the same joys and the same dangers.
This content has deserved and deserves different interpretations, has been analyzed and evaluated from different perspectives.
Both specialized critics as philosophical reflection, as the opinion of the members of a family Argentina.
In this essay I will present a synthesis of these perspectives.
Critics around the world have agreed to note that The Walking Dead is a "successful television product" that has very high ratings during different seasons.
Some journalists risk to give their opinions on the content and they constitute a veritable rainbow fanatic that go from the acceptance to total rejection without extenuating circumstances.
A different perspective offered us several philosophers.
These perspectives we have read in a book: 
The Walking Dead and Philosophy. Zombie Apocalypse Now
Edited by Wayne Yuen. (Volume 68 in the series, Popular Culture and Philosophy, edited by George A. Reisch). Carus Publishing Company 2012.
In Philosophy for the Dead, Wayne Yuen says:
“In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what we leave behind might only be intangible things like the way we lived our lives, or our philosophy.
The Walking Dead is philosophically exciting, because unlike a zombie movie, we get to really explore what it means to live in a world overrun whith zombies. 
How should we treat one another? How should we divide the labour? 
Whithour support from things like government, law enforcement, and political correctness, are we all really equal? Can we take whatever we find? Does private property still even exist? Is the world going to be “nasty, brutish, and short” or will it be simply different from ours, with its own problems and hardships, coupled with its joys and triumphs?” (pag. xiv)
These few lines provide an interesting introduction to a problem that is characterized as "apocalyptic".
Abrupt multiculturalism has the features of any catastrophe: an earthquake, a major epidemic, a tsunami. 
Multiculturalism not wish the tax by force.
Finally, the opinion of one of my grandchildren than 17 years of age.
"The younger generations in our societies lived member of the old people "who have several similar behavior to that of zombies: walking down the street with difficulty, do not talk to each other, obsessively concerned with food and pay no attention to our problems.”
I just look at people walking outside a subway in an hour of great activity in a major city in the world and I think the zombies of The Walking Dead is really a minor danger.
The indifference of today is tomorrow's apocalypse.
And the intolerance the weapons...
