Yes Correll gives an informative piece of information and backs it with research and expert advice.

This article is a classic example of culture vs. culture and the clash between the two. To really be able to critically think about this piece one must be willing to accept the differences in others. Bald Eagles are used for religious purposes in some native American cultures and I don't think any other culture has a right to say that they can not continue their religious practices because it does not make sense.
