This was a lesson I will never forget as you can use it in more than just your writing, but also in arguments and other things. Just remember guys women are always right, at least us men get the last say in all arguments with women: "Yes Darling"
As we know we all do not think the same way. By adding these opposing view points in your writing is not a bad thing. It also shows your reader that you understand and have done research on your topic.
Why address opposing viewpoints?
You might think that putting opposing viewpoints in your writing is a really bad thing, as you want your reader to agree with you right? This doesn't just help the reader know you understand what you are talking about, it also helps with your credibility as a writer. This also gets the respect from your readers and they will listen to what you have to say.
How should an opposing viewpoint be presented?
State it right, state the argument and that you do not agree with it.
Make sure that you are arguing or presenting a point that is valid for your statement and purpose of your paper. If you arguing that fast food is good in a diet, but your counter view is about global warming, well that isn't going to help you prove your point.
When you bring up the opposing view, address it then answer it with something to back your point of view up. Also state who is the author of the counter argument.
Remember not to seem as if you are fighting with yourself, that is weird, and your reader will get confused.
Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing 1 push-up for every 1$ earned on my posts and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. As promised I will be doing 73 pushups, today, for yesterdays post. Any not done will carry onto the next day. 20 is carried over to the next day.
How are the pushups from yesterday going? Ready for the New ones to come?

Often I see posts in which the authors have brought up opposing viewpoints and arguments, but they fail to prove why those arguments are wrong. Sometimes, the counter-arguments are just mentioned in a small paragraph and never spoken of again in the entire article.
One of the things that I love in an article is when the author backs up both his argument and the opposing argument with facts, and then he proves why he is right. It's no easy feat to incorporate something like this into your article. I'd be lying if I said that I have successfully pulled it off even once.
Great article. I had fun reading it.

Yes , what you say is true. Many people struggle to use this enhanced feature in their writing, but when it is done right it really makes a huge impact on the reader and the purpose of the writing. I also have never been able to get this right, but it is something I will be working on and hopefully do well

That's a classic copywriting tool. Address the concerns your audience may have in your work and it will be one less thing you have to respond to later. An ounce of preparation...

Seems like you’re finally finishing your undone push-ups :P! Countering yourself with thoughts that are in contrary with yours is super important. It is then when you have to critically measure your own beliefs and you don’t even need a direct real-time argument from your opponent. You just initiate it on your own which is more effective. I feel bad for the off topic promo but I’ve opened the registration for the DnS game I’ve been working on and would be honoured if you joined :)!
