Do you disagree or Argue?

During any discussion it is common to have our side of the story and others too have their stories to illustrate any point of view.  When we engage in a discussion, and some of the points you may agree with.  It is perfectly fine to disagree, after all it is your point of view.  However, does it mean you argue to over power other person and thrust your opinion on him? or simply agree but not argue?

Lets understand our point of view:

• Information we want to convey to other person, including the values, merits and demerits
• Environment or ecosystem in which this transaction is taking place.  This brings in the context required to analyse the information we would like to convey
• Here comes our judgmental interpretation or bias about the strengths of our point of view
• This is complemented by our believes, which others may or may not agree or have credence with other's believes.
• Finally, the methodology of implementing our point of view is conveyed.  

Need to agree and discuss further, 

• first define the need for agreement - this is an important step to understand the big picture of the issue on hand.  
• understand the people involved in the discussion, their believes, level of understanding of the discussion point.
• analyse the approach to find an agreement, illustrate the benefits, timeline and sense of ownership among the parties involved.  
• importantly, illustrate collective benefit to self, organization, group etc.
• finally, be polite in putting your discussion point across to others.
