Boomer Advice Counter Arguments 2019-12-17 | An argument about a particular topic.The Baby Boomer Generation is the generation after World War II; those born between 1946-1964. Generation Z is the youngest recorded generation; those born between 1996-2012. Apparently, they don't get along.The Argument: One of the reasons why Baby Boomers usually clash with Generations Y and Z is because they give advice which is considered unhelpful and out-of-touch. The reason for this is because schooling, the job market, and the housing market have dramatically changed since the Boomers were young themselves.

Sex Strikes Counter Arguments 2019-07-05 | A sex strike is an organized effort to bring about political or social change by women refusing to give anyone sexual access to their bodies.The Argument: As a protest tactic, a sex strike can be effective.

The only reliable utility of such a strike might be the attention that it draws to a cause.OpenLearn: youtu.be/SYry6PYsL8oLeymah Gbowee Interview: youtu.be/69FeJY7R7wYGuardian Article: theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/aug/01/colombia-crossed-legs-sex-strikeTWEET: twitter.com/counterarguingPOST: facebook.com/CounterArgumentsBUY: teespring.com/stores/counterargumentsDONATE: paypal.me/counterargumentsEMAIL: countertheargument@gmail.com
Privilege Counter Arguments 2019-05-14 | According to the Theory of Privilege, everybody is born into different circumstances. And those circumstances make certain outcomes in life more likely relative to those born into different circumstances. Circumstances that render a higher likelihood of a fulfilling life are what's labeled 'Privileges.'The Argument: This is a theory, nevertheless, a fair observation. Certain characteristics make certain outcomes more likely. However, many of the characteristics labeled 'Privileges' are conditional and many of them can be earned (if not already inherited). This is an abstract argument and should not be used to justify any assumptions about an individual.Munk Debate: youtu.be/MNjYSns0op0Buzzfeed Experiment: youtu.be/hD5f8GuNuGQDaily Show Debate: youtu.be/8raaT7SRx18Fallen State Interview: youtu.be/04GQ7D0jwrQ?t=1247Late Show Interview: youtu.be/qffCO1b-7Js?t=329AJ+ Segment: youtu.be/aQK8H0z-irMDr. Phil Segment: youtu.be/rZxMjmcT0cYDavid Webb Interviews Areva Martin: youtu.be/juQLifY4l_0Tiffany Jana TEDx Talk: youtu.be/N0acvkHIiZsVerywell Family Article: verywellfamily.com/children-of-divorce-in-america-statistics-1270390Height & Human Mating: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3546926Pew Research Center: pewsocialtrends.org/2016/06/27/1-demographic-trends-and-economic-well-beingTWEET: twitter.com/counterarguingPOST: facebook.com/CounterArgumentsBUY: teespring.com/stores/counterargumentsDONATE: paypal.me/counterargumentsEMAIL: countertheargument@gmail.com
