Option 1

 * Greenwashing
 * Article Evaluation - The wikipedia article on greenwashing was very neutral and had a clear definition on what it means. The content on greenwashing gave history of where the term came from and the usage.  It covered how business and government use greenwashing to change the public perception of them to improve relations.  The resource are good from well establish news establishments, university articles and independent sources.  However, there are some source that I would change which is the Huffington Post resource on greenwashing.

Option 2

 * Cause Marketing
 * Article Evaluation - Cause marketing article had clear definition of what it means. The article covered the history of cause marketing of how it started and how the term came to be.  Examples of how companies use cause marketing to help in social cause that benefits corporations making more money.  It give the good and bad of cause marketing.  The source on the article need to be updated.  There are some of the resources and links are dead or can't be reference.  There are some links that need to be replaced.

Option 3

 * Astroturfing
 * Article Evaluation - Astroturfing is presenting a grassroots campaign that is run by corporations to share messages that are beneficial to the company's profit. The article covered a definition of what it means and provide some history to give context.  It covered the issues of using astroturfing and the debates that people of its use.  I didn't feel the article was one sided in focusing on just corporations using astroturfing but in politics and other areas of industry.  The majority resources were validated and independent.  However, there were some of the articles that just support a claim but not really valid.
