Harris's idea of countering, "countering looks at the other views and texts not as wrong but as partial- in the sense of being interested and incomplete" (Harris, 56). This to me seems like not necessarily disagreeing with what someone says, but offering a counter argument. For example, I really disagreed with the article we read "America The Illiterate" by Hedges. Instead of disagreeing I might offer my opinion on the matter and show the differences.  Harris describes the 3 steps in order to properly counter something as, arguing the other side, uncovering values, and dissenting. Arguing the other side makes you seem less biased and more credible. To uncover values, the writer brings up a concept to analyze that the original write didn't examine. To dissent, you note an issues limits. 
Finding an example of countering I found to be easier than forwarding. Maybe this is because I like to argue so it's easy for me to find things to argue with. I found examples in things like theories. One person would come up with a theory and another person would argue against it.

This is an article talking about medicating ADD/ADHD. I find this topic very interesting because there's a lot of people on both sides of the issue. The article offers a lot of insight as to what these disorders are. It acknowledges that it's a real thing and shows cases where it needs to be medicated. It also talks about cases being increased in recent years. http://video.answers.com/the-increase-in-add-and-adhd-235168560 This is a video countering it increasing in recent years. The man speaking has a son who he says could have been diagnosed for being rambunctious but says, "rambunctiousness in children needs to be treated with recess, not Ritalin." He then goes on to talk about a program he created adding more physical activity to classrooms to help with rambunctious kids. He says basically kids need to run around and play and them not being able to sit still doesn't make them have ADD/ADHD it's just them being kids. He says the increase is because of classroom structure and kids don't have the environment to be kids.
