The art of arguing is an important skill,and it is essential to students who studying political science, philosophy, economics and other social sciences. To win an argument is not an easy task, and it is even harder to outline the steps one needs to take to win. When I am facing with an argument, I first begin by researching, and identifying all the pros and cons to prepare myself. Next, I let my opponent present his argument, where he stands in the debate and why? After a while, I state my argument, and show the truth of it by asking my opponent questions. Try and control your temper. It is important that one does not get emotional or angry at his\her opponent for their claims. Then Try questioning your opponent’s claims further by turning his own argument against him, exaggerating it or by using different meanings of his words. Afterward, use your opponent’s answers to try and draw your conclusion. Finally, try to bring forth evidence that your opponent has no knowledge of, but do not make any claim that you cannot prove. If you follow these simple steps then you are likely to win in any argument.
