Let’s Practice! Idea: Doodle is a sick individual.

Even Further Practice It is more important than ever for Americans to forge a common identity. “We need an identity that binds us together,” (25). Animal rights represent the next stage in human moral development. “If we don’t change our ways, future generations will judge us harshly. We need to achieve a higher state of consciousness and empathy,” (1025).
