counterargument
의미: An argument or set of reasons put forward to oppose an idea or theory that has already been presented.
Presenting and addressing counterarguments is a fundamental skill in academic writing, debate, and critical thinking. A strong essay anticipates counterarguments and responds to them, demonstrating that the writer has considered multiple perspectives. In legal proceedings, the defence presents counterarguments to the prosecution's case. The ability to formulate and respond to counterarguments shows intellectual rigour and strengthens one's own position.
