 Desmet, Charlotte, Van Der wiel, Alko, Brass, Marcel. (2017). "Brain regions involved in observing and trying to interpret dog behavior". PLOS one Edited by Sam Gilbert. 

 The research articles main purpose was to distinguish the differences between human behavior and the behavior of a dog using fMRI scans on participants who were selected in the expirement. They used dog owners and non dog owners to see if living with a pet would influence some of the behaviors a participant would do.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
