Module IV Group Discussion

Opposing View/Counter Arguments: An important part of argumentation is addressing the opposing view and counter arguing. Both argument papers (position and proposal) require that you anticipate readers' objections and address them. For this discussion, post an opposing view to your argument and briefly explain.

Then read two opposing views presented by two of your classmates, and even though it's not your paper or argument, offer a counter argument to the opposing view. You can only do this if you know something about the topic, so choose your responses carefully. Or you can offer up some advice about the posters opposing view. Is it valid? worth mentioning? good or bad idea?

Remember to counter argue, you must either accommodate or refute. Make it clear which you are doing.
