Document Summary
A sequence of statements forming and explaining an opinion. In everyday language we use the word to mean two people arguing verbally. Argument: common term; part of everyday language: don"t argue with me, stop arguing and listen, there is nothing to argue about! About" preposition indicates a fight, we"re fighting about something. People who argue are often seen as: uncooperative, stubborn, inflexible, trouble makers, not team players, rude. Arguments are usually viewed negatively because they often end in fights. We see those people this way because the arguments they are involved in are bad arguments. This causes deterioration of the meaning of the word argument . #1 argument is a series of statements intended to establish a proposition. Whenever you put forward an opinion, belief, or statement, and also put forward those ideas or reasons which give you that opinion, you are making an argument. You need arguments to support your opinion or view.
