slideshare  - argument / counterargument

COUNTER = to go against. 
A counter argument is therefore, an argument that goes against what the author is trying to prove. 
An author includes this counter-argument to tell the reader that he/ she is aware that there is another point of view different than his/her own. 
However, in the end, the author always goes back to the original argument to state that his/her argument is stronger than the counter argument.
So, you will always find the final argument stated in the conclusion. So if you get confused about which is the argument and which is the counterargument, look there.
