Arguing vs. "Arguing"

Everything is an argument. This post is my argument as to why we should be careful as to how we argue.

ar·gu·ment noun \ˈär-gyə-mənt\

: a statement or series of statements for or against something

: a discussion in which people express different opinions about something

: an angry disagreement

Notice how the first two uses of the word argument sound peaceful? That's because they are. An argument is simply an attempt to convince others that the position they hold is the correct one.

When arguing with someone that the argument is with the subject and not the opposing person. The view should never feel that you think they are inferior in any way, nor should you berate them. Using an improper tone of voice while arguing is the fastest way to drive a viewer away from you argument. The goal is to have the viewer come to your side of the argument on their own, something they cannot do if they've become defensive from your argument.
