Process and Analysis In this essay, I am going to give you a step by step lesson on how to argue effectively.

The next thing that is very important is to make sure there are other people around who agree with you and will stand by your side. Whichever side of the discussion with the most people usually wins.

You should also make sure this is the type of outcome you would like, if not it is not worth arguing

An explanation is a set of statements constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the causes, contexts, and consequences of those facts. This description may establish rules or laws, and may clarify the existing ones in relation to any objects, or phenomena examined.

For as long as I can remember debating has been prominent in my life full of oppression and constant discrimination. I first decided to join the Speech and Debate club at my school because I saw it as an opportunity to further develop my ability to craft strong arguments. In the world today or at least in the part of the world which I have been exposed to, very few know how to do so. After my first regional competition, I not only became better at constructing arguments I also discovered one of my greatest talents, public speaking. Through several pairs of red cheeks and shaking knees, I realized public speaking does not come easy to everyone. My
Throughout the semester, I have learned extensively about the process of an argument through the use of evidence, supporting details, and a clear stance on various pressing issue’s in today’s world. When I signed up for this class for the second semester, I never thought that I would be challenged to come up with compelling arguments for not only my side, but the opposing side as well.

I learned that through one of the most basic argument forms it becomes so much more complex than simply arguing a point, you have to do the research

At various points in your relationship you are going to have disagreements and arguments. No matter how perfect the relationship, they will argue at some point. If anything, it would be unhealthy of you not to argue. Arguing can help to clear the air and highlight issues that need dealing with. If you shout and scream at each other, if you play the blame game, or if you are just looking to score points of your partner then you achieve nothing, your issues remain unresolved, resentment builds and it could destroy your relationship. You need to be calm and rational when you talk things through, you need to be able to focus on your issues and not get distracted, and you need to be able to reach a solution that you are both happy with. Use arguments as a way to identify problems and in working through them to come closer
