Winslow, Lance. Choice and Social Acceptance in Human Organizations. Ezine@rticles, 18 May 2005. Web. 13 Nov 2010. . Lance Winslow in, "Choice and Social Acceptance in Human Organizations" (2005), discusses how people try to be accepted into certain groups or cliques and the problems behind how social groups are formed. He develops his thesis, of how the way we form social groups is bad, by supporting it with evidence of how people will sometimes do anything to be accepted into a group and how we have made "requirements" in our world that people must fulfill to be accepted. The intended audience for the article is everyone because it gives many different perspectives; these include from a group leader's standpoint, people who dislike how groups are created, and those who will do anything to be accepted. This source is useful because it explains many different topics of acceptance such as how social groups are formed. These topics can be used in my paper when describing acceptance and what people will do to be accepted socially. It did kind of change how I think of my topic because it also describes in the paper what you must do to join a desired group, slightly emphasizing to do things sometimes against your will. However, it is credible because it is written by a retired Franchisor, Business Consultant, and a Philanthropist who now runs a Think Tank.

Sister Renee, in the article "You're Not Supposed To Judge Me" (2003), describes the difference between judging and rebuking. Her thesis of how most people don't know the difference between the two terms, is created by her giving a real life scenario that occurs often. Her purpose in the article was to emphasize the difference between the two terms so they don't get confused in certain real life issues or conflicts involving judging or possibly rebuking. The intended audience is people who get frustrated when others mistake the difference between the two terms and unknowingly rebuke when they think they are just judging. This source is useful because gives a straight forward definition of both judging and rebuking. Those definitions will be helpful when including logic into my paper. It compares with the other sources because it deals with judging, and another topic: rebuking. Most of the others deal strictly with judging and have nothing else to compare to. It is also credible because it is religious ministry that only includes few scenarios that may be looked at as bias, and more definitions of terms or verses from the bible.

This source is useful because it applies a harsh reality check at the beginning when Lang is developing his thesis. His thesis states something along the lines of how hypocritical people are with judging in life. I can possibly use something like this when introducing my topic during the project. The information is reliable because it is written by a bestselling author who has sold over 30 religious books, all dealing with content such as this.
