Argument is what I never liked to find self in. What I understands about argument, is that, you never learn anything from it because no one will be submissive to the truth. Argument sometimes leads to various calamities depending on the parties involved.

What is Argument?

Argument is series of sentences, statements, propositions where some are the premises and one is the conclusion and where the premises are intended to give a reason for the conclusion.

Visualization of the definition

There are two types of argument, which are deductive and inductive.

Deductive Argument

It is an argument that is presented to be valid. Therefore, it cannot have a false conclusion when it is possible that all of its premises are true.

Example: All humans have heart. I am human. So, I have heart.

Inductive arguments

It is an argument that strength comes in degrees. It is NOT supposed to be valid. Inductive arguments are defeasible, which means they might be strong or weak, but not true or false.

"Discussion is an exchange of knowledge, argument an exchange of ignorance."

Robert Quillen
I never liked argument for anything because I understand in arguments are numerous issues you would have to battle with. One is, it may lead to fight, headache, weakness, no basis amongst others and it may even lead to death, depends on the parties involved.

Tops to help avoid ugly arguments

Understand that anger itself is not destructive.

There is a major difference between anger and rage. Someone that is angry needs to state his or her feelings before it result to something else instead of destroying things or relationships - that is rageful behavior.

Talk about your feelings before you get angry.

When you or your partner can approach the situation as it happens and deal with it in a safe way, it may not get to the point of being an argument. Sometimes things just need to be verbalized and most arguments can be avoided if your partner understands how you feel.
Don't raise your voice. It's amazing how issues of hurt feelings or differences can be resolved with a whisper. I counsel couples who are yellers to only communicate with a whisper and it greatly reduces the anger factor in their relationships.

Don't threaten your relationship.

And don't take every argument as a threat to your relationship. This type of emotional blackmail puts the other partner in a panic/flight or flight mode. While you're telling them you want to leave, they may be making plans to find a roommate. In addition, they may be so devastated by the thought of losing their family they can go into a deep depression and be unable to give you what it is you need.

Don't stockpile.

This is where you bring up issues from the past to use as a hammer against whatever problem your partner has asked for help with. Deal with their issue first and if you really have unresolved feelings from past problems talk about them at another time.

Don't avoid your anger.

If you stuff your feelings long enough you will explode and say or do things that you will regret. Anger does not diminish love, you can be angry with those you love. In fact the ones we love hurt us the most because we love them the most.

Create a process for resolving problems without anger.

Start by each of you taking five minutes to state your feelings, then take a twenty minute break to think about things and come back to the table for another ten minutes to discuss how you think you can best deal with the problem. Also, know that it's okay if the problem doesn't get solved right away.

Abuse is NEVER allowed.

This includes verbal abuse, any type of violence including slamming doors, breaking plates or hitting. If your arguments escalate to this level you need to leave the house. If one partner ever hits another a police report needs to be made and an appointment with a therapist is mandatory.

Don't engage.

Remember that negative attention is still attention. If your partner tries to goad you into an argument, simply don't go there. Some people actually like to argue because it gives them a temporary feeling of power and gratification. Avoid being sucked into their need for attention.

Listen to your body.

When you are angry your body releases chemicals that may cause you to react in ways that can be destructive to you, your partner and your relationship. Some just start having a shaky voice and body. Learn to understand your feelings and how the process of anger effects you physically and emotionally.
