how can I argue more effectively?

Argue Effectively

Argue effectvely. Discuss the behaviors that were unacceptable, but do not attack the person. For example, “I was really hurt that you didn't call,” but not, “You're insensitive for not calling.”
Personal attacks put others on the defensive and will escalate the argument.
