Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, truth is not always born in a dispute.

Quite often, a controversial situation develops into a common quarrel.

In the end, no truth is discovered. But the parties to the conflict may dislike each other for a long time.

How to argue correctly

There is a very simple rule: during an argument you must remain calm.

Don't raise your voice, speak quite quietly and at the same time clearly and confidently.
