You must identify what the counterarguments are, and then follow up with rebuttals. Please note, the rebuttal should not merely be a re-hashing of the original argument presented in the source. Instead, the rebuttal(s) should be focused on refuting the counterargument(s). Finally, be mindful that you are not making a value judgment on if the claims, counterarguments, rebuttals are good or bad.
