Skeptics May Object
1. This war on drugs cannot be taken lightly, but some readers might question that it is the people’s right to consume alcohol, for it is legal, along with other pharmaceutical drugs being abused. This is a viable statement, but exactly why we need to do something about it. People all around the United States, and the world are becoming prone to addiction to such substances, alcoholism leading to drunk driving, and pills leading to overdose, causing death. This is a serious matter, and so far the efforts our government has put forth are not enough to contain this

2. My latest essay that I have written was titled The Healthy Choice, which argued for the fact that vegetarians can indeed acquire all the nutrients from vegetables, without having to consume meat products. In it I have anticipated the objection that vegetarians are deficient in certain categories of vitamins such as B12, which will cause problems in the body, but can easily be solved with supplements or eating vegetables rich in those minerals. I have not anticipated all likely objections, but I have answered the most common one. I have represented the objection fairly, because I stated all the problems and effects of the deficiency, but answered them in a manner which suffices all objections. The language introduced in this chapter would have been helpful, but the words I used were very similar. The introduction of a naysayer is a very important way to strengthen an argument, because the writer is clearly acknowledging objections that he is aware of, and at the same time answering them to make his work stronger.
