By becoming the father of the fantasy genre J.R.R Tolkien changed the modern fantasy literature by bringing it into popular culture again.

In addition, an experiment on zebra finches conducted by researchers at the University of Exeter and Hamburg also discovered how foster parents can play an influential role in developing the personalities of their adopted offspring (Rowe, 2013).
