An arguement is when you are talking and getting to passionate over a topic. Discussions, are being open minded and sharing view calmy and rationally.

hi,friend,i think..Arguement is go on without quality,base points,rude,useless and at one stage we have to put full stop,other wise,it will turn to hot discussions. DISCUSSION-its purely based on some point,we can discuss onit any amount of time.Its only my idea.

Those two words mean the same thing in this house, I have to have an arguement with my husband just to have a discussion. Pretty sad, I know.

They have a different meaning. A disscusion can be a simple talk like a doctor's visit for instance. Anger usally happens if someone is mad or upset.

There is not much difference in my house. Both get very loud. At my house we have discussion never arguements even though some would say we are very passionate when we are having these discussions. We like to get our point accross and some times it may sound like we argueing but we are not.

In my opinion argument is similar to debate that is we discuss with opposite and negative attitude of a topic then it is argument. When we discuss with favour or little pros and cons of a topic then it is discussion. In discussion we cannot use question type asnswer but in argument we can use it. For example we are in mylot doing discussion of a topic but do not argue that we cannot ask anyone why you started this and that a discussions, moreover, if we do not like any discussion we will pass it but cannot urgue.

To my mind an argument is a sort of quarrel because it suggests that two or more people are disputing the validity of the topic under consideration. Discussion is much more a free flowing conversation about the topic. There are many similarities between argue and discussion. They both require a different point of view. They both involve person(s) explaining their understanding and other person(s) expressing an opposing view. The only real difference is that to discussion SHOULD remove the anger.

A discussion can have everyone of the same opinion, or they can have different opinions, and agree to disagree. In a discussion people listen. An arguement is filled with excessive passion, and negative views. It often seems as if no one listens. If you are together in person, you might yell in an arguement. I do not like arguements, I enjoy discussions, even if I disagree.

argument is more to defensing your point from other view.u stand strong on your point and makes other to agree with you too.However,discusiion is more open-minded and not trying to makes other concur with you

I guess in some ways it could be considered the same thing, however an argument is more heated and could be saturated with anger, whereas a discussion would just involve people talking about any topic in a more friendly and non-aggressive way...SS

they are different words. An argument is a statement (premise) or group of statements (premises) offered in support of another statement (conclusion). Discussing or debating is a formal method of interactive and position representational argument. Debate is a broader form of argument than logical argument, since it includes persuasion which appeals to the emotional responses of an audience, and rules enabling people to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.
