stop and think for a second
Ten years, a whole decade, after the zombie apocalypse. What would Mankind become? what would the humans in your part of the world revert back to, do you think there'd still be any of the original zombies about? what do you think you'd be to "society"... would there be any of us left??... if you really think about it, please submit a blog or somethin', unlike a lot of other users, i like to read :O

I think society would revert back to they way things used to be living in small villages independent from each other, at least for a while until everything could rebuild to a central government

i think there would be small villages with small army like groups protecting them and people would start farming and hunting on their own again. chances are ammuntions would be low, so we would revert back to small arms such as swords and more primitive guns if any. and the zombies may evolve and become smarter and more vicious...just my vision of the future though

Good question man. Ten years might seem like a long time, but in terms of virus dissipation, I don't think that that would be enough time for any of us (humans) to feel comfortable again. Look at the Black Plague, nobody wanted to move back into those houses where the ailing were bricked up and entombed in (some alive), it would just be too...harsh, on the human psyche. I agree with what these other guys are saying, small, scattered "sanctuaries" with a bunch of people just trying to survive. Just because civilization is gone, that doesn't mean people won't keep trying to act "civilized" (though not everyone will be all peaches and cream either lol).

well, don't you think people'd be warring? and what about he underworld? you know, places where original zombies still rule?

Well, the people who'd still be powerful enough to war wouldn't be stupid enough to waste their resources on something so fickle as territory following an event as serious as an outbreak. However, Women, Food, Gas/Energy/, Transportation (vehicles); these are the things that would most likely result in a confrontation from barters and trades. Nothing TOO serious. I wouldn't exactly call it warring, but I do believe that "scraps" over certain resources would take place every now and then.
The dead zones (btw zombies don't "rule" they "linger" sorry just had to put that out there) would be left untouched. After ten years of wallowing in filth and being ravaged by the natural elements/ zombies, I don't see what purpose there would be in returning other then retrieving sentimental items (such as pictures). Perishables would have done just that, perished. If you're going to relocate due to the fact that the ground you're trying to grow on is not as fertile as it once was, you'd be wise to steer clear of places where you know the dead roam. After ten years of recovering from such a traumatic event, no one wants to re-encounter the gore pile/arterial blood splatter/bone stack that once was a pet, neighbor, friend, sibling, or parent. Unless you had some kind of death wish or had gone completely insane, you would never approach the origin of your nightmares, not if you had something to lose (and we all will always have something to lose: our humanity.)

how about those that go into the "deadzones" to get things people'd be willing to trade for? such as new clothes, pre-Z food, weapons and ammo... i could go on and on, but there'd have to be people willing to risk it.

I can see that happening. After ten years of being dependent, I would think that people would have already learned how to make clothes/ food/ weapons/ ammo (maybe)...but, who knows...you never know what you're gonna need/want after being deprived for ten years.

well humans as a species is very durable but our minds are not as adaptable... a curse of modern times most things in life are not shown to most people like death ... we as a people are sheltered from the thought of death but if you encounter it on a day to day basis you will become desensitized to it or break down mentally, but after a generation or two get used to this grim prospect they will become use to the idea and will go on in their day to day lives and will (attempt to) rebuild society to its former glory but eventually become a bunch of tribes lead by the person with the most weapons, the most experience, or be brainwashes into a cult...
Here is my human development blog, it is a first person view of the psychological aspect of surviving during the Zombie Apocalypse following a man from Generation-Z in his own words.

I agree with everything you said except the "we as a people are sheltered from the thought of death". Have you seen the news lately my friend?! Death is EVERYWHERE; in the media, at the movies, in the streets, hell even in our food!

well media speaks of death but most people have never seen death first hand... being told someone died and being there when it happens are two different things

Well that's true, not many people (myself excluded) can actually say that they've ever witnessed a "violent" death in person (Though every year, its estimated that roughly 53 miliion people die). I was only implying that, while they are both on two completely different levels of seriousness, watching a man get decapitated on screen can be nearly as effective as watching it in person. I form this opinion from my aunt. She served duty in Iraq but was sent back to the states with PTS after having had to shoot a little boy; an explosion happened near her and a fellow recruit and they saw in the distance what looked like a young boy holding a tube. Realizing that the tube was actually an RPG, they began firing at him. My aunt said that when she hit him, he fell to the ground "like a doll" she said that's when she knew he was dead. Sadly, she also witnessed the death of a friend in the nightly bombing of his bunker. Now, my aunt can't even walk into a room if there's a tv on, she just doesn't want to see any news coverage of the war. While I do agree that "death in the media" and "death in person" are two different things, I also believe death can occasionally be as potent in all of it's forms.

A they don't show people dieing on tv its against federal regulations and if a news agency in the US does they are fined heavily and B if see pictures of dead bodies or video of people dieing makes you weak in the knees then tell hell with you now i will agree that seeing death first hand and being part in it is totally different and can effect you emotionally I know plenty of active duty people who have killed many insurgents as anyone else and they have also accidentally killed innocent people two and they ya were sad about it but didn't ruin them for life its all about the particular person and what they can handle emotionally and I'm just curious what was your ants job and what branch of service just my curiosity
