Rhetoric: The Art Of Persuasion

An argument is a dispute you have with someone who disagrees with you about something, but you have the opportunity to change their mind. An argument is where you can have the higher ground with persuasion, if you know how. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion using semi-deceptive literary techniques. The practice of rhetoric could put you at an advantage over others during an argument because it is not an art that is valuable to many people anymore, but it is astonishingly beneficial.

You have the potential to keep an argument going in the right direction (your direction), while in the right manner.
