Answer:

strategies for rebuttal

There are many different ways that you can rebut someone’s argument.   Take a look at the example below. 

If your argument was:    “We should get a cat.”

And your parents’ counterargument was:  “But your sister Susie is allergic to cats.” 

Here are some rebuttal strategies you could use: 

1.    Point out the flaws [errors] in the counterargument

Ex.  Well, I heard you say that Susie is allergic, but there’s actually a problem with that because Lisa was around a dog yesterday and she was fine. 

2.    Agree with the counterargument but give them a new point/fact that contradicts their argument

Ex.  I agree that’s Lisa’s allergic to cats, but there are some breed of cats that are hypo-allergenic and won’t cause people’s allergies to act up.

3.    Agree with the other side’s support but twist the facts to suit your argument

Ex. I know that you said Lisa is allergic, but couldn’t owning a pet also build up her tolerance?

4.    Make an emotional plea that outweighs their argument (This should be your LAST resort)

Ex. Well you said that we can’t have a pet because of Lisa, but are Lisa’s allergies really as important as rescuing that cat at the shelter who’s trapped in the cage and will be killed if he doesn’t find someone to adopt him??
