Counter Arguments

How do you address someone that you disagree with in a civil manner?

  1. I simply ask them if they are sure that they are right. Then if they say they are then I state my statement by saying, "well, my oppinion is......" That is what I would do, either I emidiately say that they might be wrong and then say my statement or do what I said earliar.(Sorry if this doesnt make since. Im really tired today.)

  2. When I disagree with someone I would ask them "how they got their answer" or I would ask, "why do you think that that is the right answer", then I would give my opinion to them and we would see if their answer or my answer makes more scense.

  3. When I dissagree with someones answer, I would ask them, "how they got their answer, or I would ask them, "why do you think your answer is correct", then after they give me their reason for their answer, I would tell them me opinion of the answer, finally we would see if thier answer or my answer makes more sence.

  6. What I would do is tell them to prove to me why they think that they are right. When they finish then I would prove them wrong. If my answer was wrong I would be very embarressed and walk away.

  7. I'd tell them to try and understand my idea and think about the good it could give them. Then I'd do the same with their idea and decide whose idea is better.

  8. I would debate with them and/or say: I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I actually think different... and then I would state my opinion. If they still have a problem with my response I would say sorry but sme people have a different opinion than you, and "some of thoses people" are me! :) I <3 cupcakes...

  9. the way I will respond as a counter arguement is to a small debate on the subject. The reason I want to do that is so I can beat them at their own game. That is what I say.

  10. The way I see it, I would respond like the disagreement with reasonable details along with it so the person might be persuade. Like your argument is to debate something from that person to reason it. That's my way.

  11. I would tell the person I am debating with all the positives about my argument. After they tell me I would either agree aor keep going on

  12. I agree with much of what you all stated above. The art of disagreement in a civil manner is the ability to look at a situation from another's perspective. This does not mean you have to agree with that person, but you should attempt to examine their rationale.

  13. I tell them in a calm voice the facts on the subject then I prove their wrong.
