One important aspect of persuasive writing is addressing counterarguments. For this discussion, you will practice this skill by writing two paragraphs: one in which you defend a claim and one in which you refute it. You can use any one of the three appeals of argument in your paragraphs, but do try to find clear, strong arguments for both sides of the issue. (If you've done a good job, your readers will have trouble figuring out which side you actually believe.)
Choose one of the following claims to defend and refute:
1. Uber drivers should not be allowed to unionize.
2. AirBnB hosts should be regulated like hotel owners.
5. Student loan debt should be discharged in the event of bankruptcy.
