Chapter 7

One thing I learned in chapter 7 was Counter Arguments. A counter argument is an argument or claim against an already established argument. So basically it's the other side of the argument. If you disagree with an argument or claim, than you would want to establish a counter argument to debate it. One may want to have a counter argument because he or she may disagree with the argument. Counter argument can set off a chain reaction of counter arguments, with each side countering, like they do in a debate.

Another thing I learned in chapter 7 was ways to counter an argument. Since chapter 7 was all about counter arguments, there are different ways to counter an argument.  One of them is "Refuting Directly." Refuting directly is one of the easier way to counter an argument. This method is simply to find and point out problems with an argument. Like false premises or conclusions.

Chapter 7 was an interesting chapter. Since before we learned about building arguments. This Chapter was about countering them.
