    Never shout, think of improving your argument abilities

    Almost all of us will participate in some or the other argument in the workplace and the house. The subject may be anything starting from technical, domestic or even political. An argument should be like an argument, Everybody should hear what the other person is saying. and try to convince him or get convinced with him. But some people, when they cannot convince the other person, try to shout and make the other person silent. That is not a good trait.

    You should not bring your ego there when you are sitting for a discussion. Remember the quote by Desmond Tutu, "Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." In my opinion, a person may be in a higher position, but he should not raise his voice during an argument or a discussion. I expect members to come out with their opinions.

    In a discussion patience matter much. One should have control on one's emotions and should always talk logically. That is the only way to have good arguments.

    This post made me to remember Mr. Solomon, Training Officer of our company, who was a retired Military person. One day a Manager who was talking to him veraciously arguing with him in high pitch. Suddenly Mr. Solomon told him 'Do not raise your voice on any account and it is not correct way to justify your point. You should argue with points for conforming your view'. This phrase 'don't raise your voice' attracted me very well and I am always remembering him for this phrase.
    He is correct as many of us thinking that if we raise our voice others will accept our point as correct. It is bad habit as well it will hide our abilities further.

    People shout when they are overwhelmed and they want to win the discussion at any cost. In my opinion, discussion should not be about win or lose and people should take it as a way to exchange thoughts. It should never be a war like discussion where each person is hell bent on taking the other person down. Every opinion matters and each opinion has its own point of view. So, instead of getting angry one must respect each other's view.
    Thanks and regards.

    I agree with Babu. A discussion is not to win or lose. But it is to have a better understanding of the subject. At the same time, the argument is also not to win or lose. I think it is to make the people know the facts and come to a common most apt decision. There is no necessity to raise our voices to make others understand our point. But we should be able to explain our point with clarity logically.

    There is a wrong conception of a party that speaking in a high-pitched tone is the only answer to win the argument. Whenever required, he might apply his well-tasted approach during his argument. He believes in such a policy since he has achieved results with the observance of this policy. While doing so, he indulges in dual bad practices, the first one is the high-pitched tone and the other irrelevant words to make his statement forceful.
    This will never help such a man to win the hearts of the listeners.
    Applying a low tone with a forceful speech could be a better substitute for taking listeners' confidence.

    By shouting one cannot add value to one's arguments. Many times it is a sign of desperation.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    I can also learn many new aspects from a person who is opposing my view in a debate or discussion. But that is possible only in case of a healthy debate or discussion. But nowadays, discussion has turned into a shouting match. In a shouting match, everyone tries to outshout others and the discussion ends in a big zero for everyone.
