Counterarguments

Counterarguments are viewpoints others may have that are contradictory your own. They occur when a reader has different views on a topic than the writer does. Counterarguments are very important to include in a paper because they show the readers that the author has a none biased opinion and that they have done extensive research on a subject that covers their concerns as well as explains why the author has the view that they have. Whether the reader agrees with the author's argument or not can be based solely on the authors remarks regarding the counterargument and if they are respectful or not. It is important that I address each of my counterarguments because my goal as a writer is to persuade my readers to agree with my argument and if I don't address what is important to them then my writing will be pointless to them and they will excuse it.
