Arguing, why argue about it?

            Argumentation, it’s the lifeblood of society. A world without argumentation is bland and colorless, as without it people would just mindlessly agree with one another. Society is full of arguments; just look at the United States government for example. Argumentation can take place over giant social issues like the Jim brown shootings in Ferguson, to even the most petty like who shall take the trash out in my dorm room this week. Arguments transcends all races, ages, religions, and genders, it’s universal on whom to argue with or for what reason why. Many times I find that arguments never settle what is actually being argued about; because if an individual is bold enough to get into a serious argument with another they are usually biased toward themselves and don’t like to admit defeat. Now for me personally I find that arguments help people, knowing that a person is well versed enough to have an intellectual argument with is quite enjoyable, and in the end I gain more respect to the person I’ve had a disagreement with.

            Now the only class I’ve had arguments in are my English classes, and for obvious reasons this trend has continued into college. Now I find that arguments are fairly encouraged in school, but it depends on the class. In science in math classes argumentation is much more challenging as the subject material is very strict, and well nobody in grade school or even undergraduates for that matter are to a level to challenge that sort of curriculum. But in the fine arts and history class’s I’ve found that arguing is actually my teachers frequently encouraged and embraced class discussions. Most professors, besides my English one of course, take criticism well, no one likes to be called out but everyone makes mistakes. I find that for the most part arguments are a regular part of society, most are small and are fairly irrelevant, but every once in a while there can be a huge argument, and most large arguments occur when politics or other sensitive topics are brought up. In the end argumentation is a crucial part of a working and intellectual society.
