How do you win an argument How do you disagree without hard feelings How do you debate in a way that moves the topic forward to an answer
Arguments matter because we have them every day We do it with loved ones and at work over which restaurant to go to and which social viewpoint is right or fair We trust the people we elect to argue on our behalf We trust the news to dissect the arguments different parties are proposing We have a system of justice which trusts the better argument will win out
