Confronting someone head-on about a conflict or issue is something that can be extremely difficult though I do feel that this can enact progress. I do think that head-on confrontation can be rather peaceful without getting into intense conflict. MM

I agree. I think head on confrintation is healthy. This doesn't only mean fighting but it includes that and it includes talking to the person in person, not on the phone or over video chat. - DAP

# data[].attributes.body
I see head on confrontation as challenges in our life. Challenge is the most painful way to get experience on our life, yet it is also the necessity to face yourself on the road to success. ZW

Yes - if a subject come up where both of the people are passionate about different beliefs, the argument should stay stay away from personal subjects and stick to what is at hand. - DAP

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the only way to argue for a reason is to make logical statements without any abusive words. Because slander does not make your arguments stronger. ZW

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that if an individual resorts to personally abusing their opponent, then they make their argument less credible by not using reasoning and logic. This strategy is definitely less effective than basing an argument on facts and logic. MM

This is similar to #3, just less true. Head on confrontation is much more radical and can lead to a lot of bad things, whereas debating will lead to a developed, intellectual conversation, with both parties making something better. -DK

There can definitely still be progress without confrontation. Look at the school system. We are learning and progressing without argument.

I agree - I believe this ties into Quote "2" because with enough evidence and proof a person who doesn't reason into something will less likely to discontinue that subject than a person who does reason and go blindly in. If you look at the costs and benefits regarding your decision making, that will help. - DAP

This quote is very true. If someone is not open to hearing the ideas and views of others that they may not agree with, then it is very difficult to convince them of your argument. MM

# data[].attributes.body
This is definitely true. abuse is never going to solve anything, ever. If you want to change something, be logical and using reasoning. -DK

# data[].attributes.body
This is super true. Some people turn arguments into talking crap, but this just means they don't have anything else to say and you've won.

# data[].attributes.body
I truly agree with this quote because if people themselves cannot even understand the situation or the logic, it would be meaningless for you to reason more with them. ZW

# data[].attributes.body
I think you can reason someone out of anything as long as you leave them thinking when the conversation is over.

# data[].attributes.body
This sounds complex, yet is so simple. If someone is coming into an argument based purely on stubbornness and unwillingness to see the other side, then you will never be able to get through to them. If they use logic, then you can have a genuine debate. -DK

I agree that really a big reason how humans grow is when they interact with other humans in positive ways and negative ways. For a clearer understanding and for future endeavors it is healthy to conflict and debate with humans. - DAP

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that change is truly initiated when there is some form of conflict or disagreement and these issues can be resolved with human interaction. MM

# data[].attributes.body
This is so true. I feel like the only way to develop and advance something is to have some sort of conflict of interests, otherwise everything would stay the same. -DK

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think human debate is required for innovation to occur I just think it is bound to happen with change. There could easily be discussion about pros and cons of something changing without conflict. However, there needs to be human interaction.

I can relate to this quote because everyone know how to raise their voice in order to make them seemingly stronger or powerful, but that's what uneducated people would do. The smart people will try to make point clear thus winning the logical side. ZW

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. The loudest person or even a person who is known by many people is never a person who is always right. Finding evidence to prove your argument is more effective than being loud - DAP

# data[].attributes.body
This is a really good quote. When two people end up in a shouting match, the only outcome is someone getting hurt by something said. Making your argument more convincing is so much better than yelling at someone. -DK

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this quote as I feel that to fully develop a credible argument, people can not rely on yelling ir raising their voice at an opponent to better emphasize their purpose. MM

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this quote that not only should your goal be to succeed but to learn from your mistakes and progress to get to your goal. Even failure means progression so don't give up - DAP

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the argument aims should not be focused on personal win but more on the topic itself of how it contribute to the real problem. Self victory does not change anything, but your contribution does. ZW

I feel like it is true that progress should be sought after in a discussion but I also think seeking to convince the other person can lead to that progress when you know you are right.- Whit

# data[].attributes.body
I kind of agree with this statement. I feel like an argument or discussion is usually started with the intent of winning, so the aim is generally victory, but if you are able to open up someone else to your ideas, that's still beneficial. -DK

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the goal of an argument should not be to win but to make progress by convincing an opponent or someone with different views. Some people may have greater debate skills than others though anyone can ultimately advise an opponent using persuasive techniques. MM

Read the quote, consider what it is saying, and respond to it in 2-3 sentences with your thoughts or interpretation of what is being said. In your response, refer to the quote by #. Include your name or initials on each of your posts.

"My father use to say, ‘don’t raise your voice; improve your argument.'"

# data[].attributes.body
Raising your voice is a person's natural instinct yet it is highly ineffective to a conversation. There will be no progress if people just yell at each other. - Whit
