Different styles of arguments can shape our past, present, and future. They represent our life styles and major influences that are in gained from being and ending of our lives. They are only a small part, but show a huge part of our charters. In a most resent argument with my boyfriend about his smoking habits. I will show my consensual style.

This person won't give up to theory but rather the right facts. My arguer also sees the good and bad to every choice and makes decision based on that. Like this person I want to keep my individuality strong. I want to be considered an intimidating arguer only so my words hold more value then the ones I...
