10. What does the author think about people with tattoos and piercings? Why does he have those opinions?

14. What is the "world's most common but dangerous psychological disorder?" Explain Fey's argument in this paragraph.
---The "world's most common but dangerous psychological disorder" is conformity. According to Feys, conformity is nothing more than the destruction and suppression of one's individual self.
15. Why is Leopard Man so happy?
---Leopard Man is happy because he has seceded from society, which has allowed him to break free of social pressures. He has created his own personal paradise by living the way he does.
