| | CollegeWriting.info: "Writing a Disagreement" Basics |
 | | When you write a disagreement, you are learning to create a fair, reasoned, and careful discussion to show, first, what an author says and then, second, to either support or criticize him or her through your own experience or by researching the experiences of others. |
 | | A disagreement should have an academic writing style, which means sentences and words of some length and complexity (but nothing you cannot easily understand yourself) and paragraphs that often are medium to long, though a mixing of lengths and an occasional short paragraph are desirable. |
 | | In most disagreements, you should use the third-person pronoun: "he," "she," "it," and "they." You should not use "you," as you are not giving directions or commanding your audience to agree with you. |
