Option 1

 * Article title
 * Workfare


 * Article Evaluation
 * Very old and limited information on the topic. It barely gives details on the history of workfare/workfirst policies, doesn't touch on the intersectionality of the issue, brings up one-sided controversies, and compares only to 2 countries outside the US.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Temporary Assistance for Needy Families


 * Article Evaluation
 * The criticism section is very short. There is also little to no comparison of this program to programs in other countries. There could also be more information regarding poverty and how people end up receiving TANF.
