Rebuttal Essay Assignment
In a dialogue of ideas, like the one you entered when you joinedthis class, it is not uncommon to hear arguments that you disagreewith vigorously. In this essay, you have the chance to pushback--to create a rebuttal-- against one of these arguments.
Your rebuttal can simply deconstruct another argument to showits flaws and shortcomings. This is called refutation. Or it can goa step beyond this and create a counterargument, an opposingargument that is strong enough to outweigh the one being rebutted.The strongest rebuttals do both of these.
Getting Started
To begin, you will find the argument you want to create arebuttal to. Think about what you've heard or read that you findincorrect or offensive. Find a written version of that article andstudy it carefully, deeply analyzing your reasons for disagreeing.Here are a few things to think about:
Exactly what claim do you want to argue against?
Are the facts presented accurately and interpretedcorrectly?
What other facts might outweigh the evidence presented in theargument?
Is there a direct connection between the claim and support?
On what assumptions is the argument based? Are they fairones?
Does the author commit any fallacies? Does he or she rely toomuch on pathos or ethos?
Once you further understand why you disagree with the argument,it's time to decide how you will argue against it. In what wayswill you refute this argument, and in what ways will you create acounterargument? What will most strongly convince the audience ofthis debate?
