Before arguing, think whether you want 'halla or solution'

 

Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen writes in his book The Argumentative Indian, "As much as the Vedas tell hymns and religious prayers, they also tell stories, speculate about the world, and ask difficult questions because of our propensity to argue." Also ask. Like who created this world? Did it come into being suddenly?" Debate is no longer confined to school competitions or politics. Young people are also getting involved in debates in everyday life, trying to express their point of view or opinion. In such a situation, it is necessary to have a healthy debate, whose aim is not to win, but to learn.

Knowledge of the topic: For a healthy debate, you should have complete knowledge of that topic with its introduction. While starting any debate, it is necessary to introduce it. There is always a reflective and data driven approach towards any impasse. You need to take care of this.

Professional Debate: Debate is all about presenting your views, proving them and winning. If you are a part of professional debate then winning should be your goal. The meaning of debate is to spread and receive information. But you also need to accept that you cannot be right every time. When you walk with this understanding, then only you will be able to accept new information.

Tolerance is necessary: Have the ability to listen in the debate. Having listening skills means having patience. It teaches individuals to really listen to views that differ from their own and to understand the sources of those differences.

Losing an argument also shows that it is okay to change your mind on a matter.

Don't take it personal: Many times during the debate, people go off topic and start making personal attacks. But don't take things personal or make them personal. Sometimes it may be tempting to bring up a close friend's experiences when arguing with them, but this isn't always a good option.

Along with opposition, we should listen to all the opinions peacefully and give our arguments while respecting them too. It is not fair to look down upon someone for their views and opinions during a debate. You must understand that people may have personal views and their views may differ from yours.

Willingness to learn and understand: When you listen to people during a conversation, try to understand their side. Try putting yourself in their place. It is possible that you can understand their opinion. You started feeling that they are right, you had wrong information or you did not think from this angle. So always have a desire to learn. never put someone down to win an argument
