Countering

Harris's idea of "countering" can be seen as a point of divergence between two writers. Harris does however clarify that countering is not in fact a form of nullification but a suggestion to a different way of thinking. He coins the phrases "yes, but..." and "on the other hand" as examples of countering. He says that there are three main ways to create the divergence point needed in order to counter an argument. These ways include arguing the other side, uncovering values, and dissenting. Oddly enough I couldn't find an example of countering in recent blog posts in young entrepreneur. Most articles are more about the forwarding and relay of new information as opposed to the countering of other data or information. The lack of "countering" in the site might also be due to the quantitative nature of economics and business that makes up the entire subject content of the site. Statistics leads little room for speculation based opinions other than in regards to their validity so it only makes sense that their is few "countering" blog posts. There are examples of "countering" in the sites articles but as far as my understanding goes this post was only analyzing blog posts. After having read this portion of "rewriting" I will say that I was enlightened to how many news sources use "countering."  Every political news source offers some wonderful example of "countering" and many political figureheads also "counter" their opponents opinions on a regular basis. This example also shows the intentions of writers may lead them to leave out, alter, or misuse information. As a politician might disregard a major counterargument a writer may also disregard information in order to prove his or her point. As a whole "Countering" still leads to the uncovering of truths but is much more subject to corruption than "forwarding."
