Understanding Argument

BlogPost_#2

whether we are aware or not, we engage ourselves in arguments on daily basis. In-class discussion, presidential debate on the television, bargaining for a price reduced. All these are forms of arguments.
During the introduction, I have learned that an argument is when a reasonable person refuses to accept or believe the other persons' point of view about a debatable situation. However, an argument is not an angry exchange or imposing of words by yelling on each opponent to the extent that no one can hear clearly what the other is saying; thus, an argument is not about being obstreperous.
Moreover, it is not about winning or losing against each other; it's about claiming a point, outlining the problem and stating the solution,
supporting your claim with fact, and trying to persuade your opponent or the audience to accept your thinking  by using ethos, pathos, and logos.
