This week you probably came across a reading or a video clip that you disagreed with to some extent.
Select two readings or one reading and one video clip
In a minimum of 600 words, explain why you disagree with the source/s’ point of view; feel free to use the other readings for this week or outside credible academic sources to underscore your points
Now, try to imagine the possible response/s to your arguments and objections. Explain the response and rebut your opponent in this imaginary debate. In your rebuttal, consider that you may come across many opportunities to disagree with fellow students throughout your Brandman experience. Write your rebuttal with consideration of how you would address such controversies with fellow students in a debate that is not imaginary.
