Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.

The purpose of this article is to relay to people that in a time like this in our country when all you hear is words like debt, recession, low economy, you should shift your mind to think the opposite which should help your life to do the opposite of debt and recession. The audience of this article might be someone like me, doing research, or most likely someone who runs a business and is looking into the way the economy has affected people who now are lacking confidence to spend money on their business and take risks like they normally would. Given the information that I have provided to me about this author I can not say what her background is but considering the topic I dont believe that there are any biases. The only thing that could be considered is if maybe someone simply refused to believe that just an attitude could help a business.

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.

The purpose of this article is to tell people the importance of having a positive attitude and how maintaining a calm focused, positive mind can some times be a challenge it is well worth the effort. You must focus on thinking positive even times where all your mind wants to do is think about the not so positive situation. this also includes staying away from people who are negative which can also be an obstacle depending on the part they play in your life. According to this article every bad situation has an opportunity, a way to perceive the event as good, a bright side to all dark spots. The audience of this article would be people who are either researching things that have to do with mental self help or people who are already very into metaphysical things, the power of the mind is not a secret anymore. I am not sure what the background to this author would be but he gives a recommendation to 10 different books that are about the power of positive thinking, creating success, and mind. Giving these books as a reference I think help me be confident in the article because I can then go and look at 10 different books to read how they would explain the same thing. I dont think there is any biases in this other then the fact that the author believes that the mind can affect life in either negative or positive ways where as someone else might believe you have no control over the situations you encounter in your life.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.

The purpose of this article is to bring people to awareness about the immune system, its cause when its weak and how your attitude plays an affect. They do a very good job of introducing all the information, starting with cancer statistics and then talking about how cancer starts (break down of immune system) and then talking about what major things affect the immune system. They talk about how it is proven that the immune system is improved with a good attitude, good self esteem, and very little stress. The audience for this article could be people who are interested in the mind and how it affects health overall, the audience could be people who are battling health problems and are seeking natural treatment and cures. I feel confident in this article because they reference their sources and have a lot of factual statistical information to analyze the situation. I do not know anything about the author but I feel that they have a very professional tone in this article which also increases my level of confidence in it.
