A hallmark of a critical thinker is the willingness and ability to actively seek out and understand points of view and information different from one’s own. Considering a broader range of knowledge to carefully think through problems and come to logical conclusions and effective applications and solutions are hallmarks of effective critical thinkers.

In this discussion, present a counterargument that you have found to your position. So that learners do not have to refer back to a previous discussion, repeat your topic and position. Next, present the counterargument. Support the counterargument with evidence from a scholarly source.

In your discussion, include:

• Your topic.
• The working title of your paper.
• Your position and thesis.
• A counterargument to your thesis or argument.
• Evidence for the counterargument (include in-text citations).
• Reference for your source (or sources).
