Evolving Perception of Vampires

...

The vampire has been done to death as it is evident throughout the evolution of the vampires that they are only perceived to come to life only after the death of an individual. So in the actual sense, the vampires can be regarded as ‘walking dead.' Even though they survive by sucking blood from human beings, and t[bi][bj][bk][bl][bm]hey can do other activities which people who are alive do, such as speaking and moving arou[bn][bo][bp][bq]nd, other typical activities which[br][bs][bt] people do such as desiccation have never been talked about. The idea that they are also inactive during the day shows an enormous amount of lack of humanity in the world of vampires and thus they cannot be considered to be actual creatures.[bu][bv][bw][bx][by][bz][ca][cb][cc][cd][ce][cf][cg][ch][ci][cj][ck]

The changes that have come as a result of the evolution have brought t in some negative impacts on the people especially the young adults. There are those who have totally been addicted to the vampire movies, and they spend a lot of their time doing a follow up on the latest series about the vampires. This has resulted in a waste of time that would otherwise be used in other more important work such as studying. The most recent evolution of vampires has brought in a change in perception by the young adults about vampires. For example, there are those young adults who are growing up have a negative perspective about darkness, graveyards, and even dreams[cl][cm][cn][co][cp] (Winkler, 2007). Based on the characteristics of the vampires, they usually like residing in areas around graveyards, and when the young adults grow up having these instincts, they tend to avoid such areas. There are those individuals who totally fear darkness and even have bad dreams after watching or reading these terrifying vampire movies, and the result is psychological torture. [cq]

The evolution of vampires is still on, and there are other bigger changes in future that will arise as a consequence of the growth. Of importance to note is that the stories about vampires are mere perceptions and fictitious.[cr][cs][ct][cu][cv][cw][cx][cy][cz][da][db]
