I ‘d like to explain this cause with three reasons.
・「考え直すべきかどうかという議論が高まっている」 という書き方になっています。それに対してI disagreeで答えているのですが、これでは、賛成なのか反対なのか今一つよくわからないというのが正直な意見です。
「考え直すべきだという意見が高まっている」 という書き方であれば、I disagree は、考え直すべきではないと言っているのだとすぐにわかります
枕詞としてwhether or not を使うからこの曖昧さが生じたのだと思います。作文は、誰が読んでも誤解のないように、ずばっと書くべきです
