Human/Non-Human Animals

The world is comprised of many different beings living together in harmony with nature. Although all living things are indeed living there are distinct differences that set apart the human race from all other species on our earth. The most prominent of these differences is the ability to think critically and analyze information. Although animals have the ability to cooperate and communicate as humans do, they do not possess the ability to apply reflective judgement upon their actions. This ability allows the human race to not only evolve physically but to evolve mentally as well through reflection and the revision of mistakes. Many non-human animals continue to take part in dangerous or unethical behavior without ever stopping to think if their behavior may be a mistake. I believe this to be the reason why we still find numerous non-human animals dead on the side of the road after being hit by an automobile. If they had the ability to critically think they would have developed the ability to look both ways before crossing by now.
