Conflicting arguments are presented, addressed and effectively managed

 

 

It is important to show both sides of the argument as opposing arguments are used to create discussion within the text. If studies have shown opposite findings to the original argument, these need to be included and addressed. They can be effectively managed by explaining why the results may have been different. For example, some studies may only use participants from a particular area and this may be the reason the study didn’t have the expected results. It can be stated that although this study had different findings to the other research quoted, this could be due to the sample and not because of the phenomena being researched.
