Arguments that support Premise (i) deny statement A of any truth. If
a topic that is controversial in nature. This type of essay intends to present the issues both sides of the argument. However, it is important that the writer also explain why he has chosen to side with one argument and provide the logic behind it. Writing a discursive essay is a good way to develop the logical skills of the writer while maintaining a sound skill to anticipate the arguments of the other side and possibly counter it with the same logical explanation.
