Lesson Summary. A counterargument is a viewpoint that opposes your main argument. Counterarguments are part of good persuasive writing and speaking strategy, because they show that you've considered other points of view.
After you've provided the counterargument, your job is to refute it in a balanced and reasonable way and prove your thesis statement correct. Another example of a thesis statement might be a claim that raising the driving age to 18 on a national level is important for highway safety.
