An <em>asyndeton</em> is a sentence that doesn't have a conjunction where you would expect it to be. A <em>conjunction </em>is a word that can put two independent clauses (or complete sentences) together. Some examples of conjunctions include the words <em>and, </em><em>yet</em>, <em>but, or for,</em> and <em>nor.</em>
<em />
Examples of asyndetons include:
- The sun was shining; it was a beautiful day.
- The stadium was packed; it was the biggest football game of the year.
As you can see, the easiest way to create an asyndeton is to use a <em>semicolon</em>, (;) which can be used to replace a conjunction by connecting two complete sentences.

It looks as though this essay should be an argumentative/persuasive essay. As such, there are two main ways to construct this. Knowing you should refute two points from the article, you could do this by either mentioning the opposing viewpoints first then your refutes (known as the block method), or you could do this point by point by stating an opposing viewpoint, then refuting it in the same paragraph (known as the point-by-point method). That said, here are two sample outlines assuming you mention two points:
OUTLINE 1 (Block Method)
Introduction
Body Paragraph 1
-opposing viewpoint 1
-opposing viewpoint 2
Body Paragraph 2
-your refute of opposing viewpoint 1
-your refute of opposing viewpoint 2
Conclusion
OUTLINE 2 (Point-by-Point)
Introduction
Body Paragraph 1
-opposing viewpoint 1
-your refute of opposing viewpoint 1
Body Paragraph 2
-opposing viewpoint 2
-your refute of opposing viewpoint 2
Conclusion
It is false. More than 70 countries have banned it including the United States
