Arguing is not a Yelling Match

An argument is an idea you expose to others to test its validity and its truth and its value.

An argument is not an emotional yelling match between two people who disagree on a point, who are furious and desire the destruction of their opponent.

An argument is not an articulated expression of an emotional outburst.

An argument is the rational expression of a conclusion derived from logic and observation that you present to Others for critique, development and potential to solve a problem or advise on a matter from an intellectual basis.

An argument is a part of a process to get from a basic idea to a well-tested statement. An argument is an improvement from concept to reality.

The act of arguing is when this presentation of a developed concept is subject to the Other, who crtitques the presentation.

The act of arguing improves the argument or shows it to be lacking in some area.

Thus further is improvement can be made following the arguing phase.

An argument is an intellectual advancement, made so only because of the criticism of the Other.

Scientists present arguments to other scientists to improve and refine their original idea that inspired it.

Unfortunately, the general public also uses the term to describe an emotionally charged, adverse dispute between people. The conclusion of this argument is not designed to achieve greater understanding, but to destroy the opponent.

Let's take back the original and better use of the term.

An argument is good. It is good because emotions don't come into it. An argument is about intellectuals getting together to acheive understanding and truth.
