Counterargument In Research Paper

Argument:
Below is my argument in standard form:
All employees who disrespect their company in any way should be fired by their company.
All employees should be held accountable for their actions.
Therefore every employee that is held accountable should be fired by their company.
Counterargument:
Below is my counterargument in standard form:
Employers should not be stringent on employees when they are off duty.
Employers should not fire employees for social media content.
Therefore, employers should not fire employees for any actions off duty.
Counterarguments are always very fun in my opinion, you get to pick at a certain piece of information and find all of the false things in that argument. My counterargument consists of two premises and

a conclusion. My first premise is employers should not be stringent on employees when they are off duty. My second premise is employers should not fire employees for social media content. My conclusion is therefore, employers should not fire employees for any actions off duty. This concludes my counterargument, throughout this paper I will be providing explanations on what my premises mean as well as my conclusion. I will also provide detailed information on why I have chosen this counterargument to go against my initial argument.
My first premise states “employers should not be stringent on employees when they are off duty.” Basically this is explaining how employees should be free to do whatever they want to when they are not on the clock.

It is also stating that everyone should only be responsible for work things when they are at work, not at any other time. My second premise states “Employers should not fire employees for social media content.” This is stating that no one employee should be fired for anything to do with social media. It is also stating that employees should only be responsible to their work when they are at work only, leaving them free to do whatever they want in their personal time. Overall my premises are stating that any one person should only be held accountable when they are at work, not on their personal

time.
My conclusion states “Therefore, employers should not fire employees for any actions off duty.” This in particular follows up with both of my premises in different ways. The first is stating that employers should fire any employee for actions that they committed of duty (social media). The next way it follows up with my premises is that it is stating that employees should have the right to do whatever they want to on there off time. My conclusion for my counterargument really wraps up the whole argument and gives a good understanding of what I am trying to counter argue, which is the fact that employees should be able to whatever they want to when they are not on the clock.
The primary points of disagreement between the argument and counterargument are if an employee should be held accountable for his or her actions why they are off duty.

This disagreement has many valid points on both sides of the argument. On the argument side, one of the premises states that “All employees should be held accountable for their actions.” I believe most people and employers believe in this premise. On the other hand you have the counterargument premise that states “Employers should not be stringent on employees when they are off duty.” Which I also believe that most employees believe in, and also most people believe too. I think both are very valid points in the

argument.
My best objection to the argument would have to be “Employers should not be stringent on employees when they are off duty.” I think that this is my best objection due to the fact that most people in the world think that when you are off duty then you are not responsible to or for your workplace in most career fields. I think the premise it is objecting is “All employees who disrespect their company in any way should be fired by their company.” I think that this is true because of that fact that most people think that you shouldn’t be held responsible for your actions off duty. That alone calls for a very good objection to the argument, but then you do have certain career fields were you are responsible for your actions 24/7 like many government positions and the military. I think that this would call for a very good argument no matter what side of the argument a person might fall under.
