It    is    widely    believed    that    when    conflict    is    involved,    there    is    never    really    a    winner.    One    of    the    parties    will    always    come    off    being    offended    or    it    could    all      into    an    endless    disagreement.    But    when    arguing    with    someone,    especially    when    you    know    you    are    right    about    something,    one    should    bear    in    mind    a    few    key    tactics.    The    first    thing    is    that    facts    do    not    convince,    how    many    times    have    we      the    same    mindless    old-wives    tales    repeated,    “cold    weather    makes    you    ill”    is    one    of    my    pet    hates.    There    is    an    element    of    persuasion    known    as    in-group    bias    that    can    be    a    key    factor    in    gaining    the    upper    hand    in    an    argument.    This    means    that    we    generally    only    take    into    account    a    person's    viewpoint    if    we    believe    them    to    be    similar    to    us.    This    is    why    it    can    be    a    good    idea    to    try    to    relate    to    your    opponent,    instead    of    pointing    out    your    differences.    The    second    thing    is    to    keep    your    temper    and    not    lose    control.    Having    a    of    self    control    and    recurring    to    anger,    shouting    or    even    violence    will    not    help    your    standing    in    an    argument.    One    must    be    patient    and    logical    in    the    face    of    adversity.    When    arguing    with    someone,    try    to    stay    on    point    and    not    your    adversary    to    change    the    topic    suddenly,    it    is    very    easy    to    go    off    topic    and    realise    that    you    are    arguing    about    something    completely    different    from    the    original    point.    So,    if    you    take    these    points    account,    maybe    next    time    no    one    will    come    out    offended    and    an    argument    can    also    become    something    almost    enjoyable    whenever    it    follows    a    logical    path.
