Option 1
[ health]
 * Article title
 * Mental Health
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discussing the background of mental health, but it does not go in depth of what is classified as mental health. Such as mental health disorders. They touch on the subject some, but they do not explain all them them. As a article about mental health I believe going in to depth about what causes those issues are very important. It also only speaks on mental health as a United States issue rather than an issue that the entire world struggles with. Also when discussing mental disorders they do not discuss how genetics can play a role in mental illness. Something that would improve this article is the discussion of treatments they have worldwide. Along with this they need to discuss how different types of mental illnesses have different treatments to improve their mental well-being.

Mental toughness

 * Article title
 * Mental Toughness
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article presents biased views. When referring to the concept of mental toughness the article only elaborates on mental toughness in sports and becoming an elite athlete. There are many challenges people go through in their everyday lives that require mental toughness. I believe the article can improve by talking about all aspects pertaining to mental toughness in our everyday lives. Not everyone can be an elite athlete, but they can portray aspects of mental toughness and I believe this article needs to touch on that.

Option 3
Toxic positivity
 * Article title
 * Toxic Positivity
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has good content, but it is hard to read and does not flow well. It needs to break out the sections of when it is acceptable to be positive and when it becomes toxic. I also believe the article should go more in depth to the psychology behind toxic positivity.
