Arguments are a very common form of communication. When arguing with a peer it is important to keep in mind a purpose and not just a release of random emotions that can make people upset. There are many ways one can go about choosing a positive argument. It is important to learn how to best construct each argument into something which can be used in a positive manner. Knowing the difference between reporting and arguing can be useful by letting both parties involved realize the situation. By seeing when one is just reporting it can be assumed that all the information is known. By arguing people can both learn from one another.
Ethos, pathos, and logos are all important factor of arguing. Ethos appeals to credibility and authority. Pathos appeals to emotion, and logos appeals to logic and reason. When arguing it is important to keep each of these factors in mind and use each category to get one's point across. When one can master each one of these categories they can easily win any argument with anyone. It is important to listen to the person you are debating with. Learning from what they are saying is a very useful way to help back up one's own argument.
