Often times, an argument arises because of a disagreement between two parties or an issue occurs. The word itself is immediately thought of in a negative light, and is often times associated with words such as, "fighting" or "altercation". However, the word argument can be viewed in a more positive state of mind. Arguments occur in order to address problems and find solutions. In an academic setting, an argument can help with the advancement of studies by discussing issues that may be hindering research/studies. The difference between an everyday argument versus an argument in an academic setting, is that arguments in an academic setting often times leads to an advancement of some sort, while everyday arguments can usually leave the parties with unresolved tension.
First off, I completely agree with the first sentence about why an argument arises. I also agree with the words you used to describe the act. (Negative light, fighting and altercation). And finally, I totally agree with how the everyday arguments get unresolved. Good job.
