- in arguments people forget about the topic they're arguing about, and then it becomes more of a pride game to see who gets the last word or who's right, instead of staying on topic
- you need to back up you opinions with proof
- try to stay respectful in an argument, and not try to make the other person look bad, because in reality you end up looking like the bad guy instead of the winner
I didn't get to say this in the socratic seminar but I thought it was a good point...
- I believe that even if your opinion is wrong, and you can accept the fact that you were wrong or had a change of mind, and still had the courtesy to show respect toward the other person then in my eyes I still see you as a winner. Even though you lost at this argument you should still see it as a win because you had enough respect for the other person and yourself to accept the reality of which opinion was better. Not to mention that you also got to learn or think of something in a whole new perspective.
