What does an argument mean

An argument, in philosophy, is a claim that is backed by
reasons.

According to Cambridge English Dictionary
Argument means

an exchange of diverging or opposite views, typically a heated or angry one.
a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory.

An argument can occur when you believe or know what something is but it's contrary to the opinion of others, then in the process to make them understand your view or opinion it could lead to an argument because the parties involved in an argument is of different view and believe,
So each party will tend to justify what they believe in

An argument occurs when you want people to understand you better,

You don't have to argue base on your selfish interest because you will tend to loose your value this could also lead to conflict and at the end you'll regret your cause of action

★ your argument is to show the position or perception you have about your claim
★ don't be selfish, also listen to others point of view and their reason for the claim
★ always try to digest others view and reason for it
★ also know that you can learn a lot from other arguers i.e **what they believe in, and why.
★ in the process of the argument you can get to know their beliefs and their values and the way they address them in certain conditions

The main purpose for arguing is to let other party believe in your view

"You want your beliefs to be true. ... By spotting weaknesses, mistakes, and falsehoods in your own and other people’s arguments, you stand a much better chance of holding to and acting on true beliefs. The advantage to this approach is success; making decisions on false beliefs can only lead to error and trouble."

Some major arguer tend to use their argumentative skill to intimidate others, if you do this you have more to loose because you won't learn from others point of view

When you argue there shouldn't be any form of reviles because you tend to loose your value when you do.

You need to know that all your claim must be backed by tangible reasons why you lay claim in them

When you argue in a creative manner you become more knowledgeable about your own view or belief, other people’s believe, and you will be able to influence others.

CONCLUSION
The argument we are discussing here is a creative argument, when an argument is not educative then don't get involved
Unnecessary argument is is worthless
even the almighty is against unnecessary argument

Nice writeup bro, also to my own addition to this is that a topic which one knows it won't lead to a positive result should be quitted or run totally from it, because of unforeseen circumstances.
Most world conflict that start today from the word "argument " so I think if this topic is critically examined it gonna make the world a peaceful place to be. Again a nice write up bro @ategun

Thanks for reading
