Argument Validations
Argumentation is a little acknowledged part of human history that plays a role in most if
not all major historical events. Sure many of these events have been lead to a violent point before
it came to settle, but at some point before the violent acts such as war or riots based on what ever
political or religious reason its safe to say simple debating and arguments formed from different
opinions were brought up. Debating doesn't always have to have negative outcomes, with simple
reasoning it came even solve problems. if two parties are facing conflict with one another its
possible to solve the conflict by just hearing one another out and being fully committed in
finding resolution with one another.
Lets list some of the problems were facing as a country at the moment, they range from
healthcare to marriage rights. Numerous conflicts leave are people in a constant state of social
disarray. But if we use reasoning skills we can the disagreements to our advantages. Imagine two
individuals or two groups debating over a common conflict, now the debate could go on for
hours if both parties just stated their thoughts with out taking what each other is saying into
consideration. thats where the voice of reason comes in, it solves problems and with the right
ideas can bring the parties together. this type of cooperation could take them to the point as if
there was never a conflict in the first place. In the U.S every four years we carry out out
presidential elections and before the elections candidates try to convince the American people

why they are the better choice for the title of the next U.S president and the way that they do this
are advertisements, testimonials, various propaganda. But what mainly seems to capture the
attentions of the people the most are the debates that take place near the time of the actual
elections. during this time each candidate are asked questions that evaluate them on their
methods or problem solving, morals, and general policy. This gives the undecided voters a
chance to confidently pick a new president, or give voters who had their mind made up a second
opinion on who should be the next U.S president
There isnt really anyone or specific group to blame for the problem of debates, its
human nature. If blame is to be thrown anywhere it could be tossed at ignorance or insolence.
Just hearing the words of another that are addressed towards you and taking what they have to
say into consideration can go a long way. Think of the last time you were in a argument with
someone, whatever cause the conflict between you to why isn't that you agreed with them?
Would their method of solution not satisfying to you because it wasn't your own, or was it
actually ridiculous and wasn't worth even considering? Most of the time when people argue over
minor topics they dont want to hear the opposing side out because theyre not thinking
rationally and they carry a my way or the highway sense of mentality amongst themselves to
falsely support themselves. Its important to reason with other who express different view then
you this opens new opportunities. Just recently the U.S has reestablish its relations with the
country of Cuba even after over 54 years of separation between the countries because of events
that happened during the cold war they have opened up to each other and that creates more job
opportunities for both sides and creates a new trade routes and thats a plus for both economies
while opening a new source of goods. Progress like that doesn't just come over night sure it may

have taken awhile and there may have been people against in but thats when reasoning and
argumentative debates took place and eventually a decision for the better came in and gave the
two countries future opportunities to grow.
Another example similar to the relations on Cuba and America is the 1989 destruction of
the Berlin Wall. During the cold war tensions between east and west rose to the point that a wall
was built to divide the two areas. over two decades later diplomatic relations between the two
rose and it was agreed take the wall down and join the two together once again. It took debate
between two republics with different political opinions who came together and realized that they
were better off together then separate.
The worlds problems are solvable but you have to take a positive approach to them.
Personally I believe theirs a diplomatic approach to most political problems, but then again its
just a opinion that i express but if you feel the just the opposite on it feel free to find me and
maybe we can debate about it.
