All or Nothing
The method of arguing that a person uses can be based on several different factors. It can be based on religious beliefs, gender, or family background. I predominantly use an adversarial style of argumentation. I have strong opinions about certain things and in an argument; I intend to change the views of others. I see myself as a lawyer arguing in a court, using logic and evidence to back up all statements, rather than one conducting a group discussion or town meeting where a compromise is to be reached. I view confrontation as the solution to many group conflicts. By openly discussing any differences most problems can be resolved quickly and painlessly. A certain amount of openness helps to avoid hurt feelings.
On the other hand, I am always open to listening and acknowledging the points of my opposites, and can ultimately be swayed by a good argument. I usually try to seek out many views and read into all options before coming to a sturdy stance. I have been raised to accept the personal choices of everyone, whether I agree with them or not. The right to have an opinion should always be recognized.
