And The Winner Is…9 Ways To Come Out On Top In Any Argument
Ask The Right Questions
Asking questions doesn’t mean you are losing the argument, but rather it puts you in control of the situation. “If you can ask the right questions you can stay in control of the discussion and make your opponent scramble for answers,” reports Life Hack. “You can ask questions that challenge his point, ‘What evidence do you have for that claim?’ You can ask hypothetical questions that extrapolate a trend and give your opponent a difficulty, ‘What would happen if every nation did that?’ Another useful type of question is one that calmly provokes your foe, ‘What is about this that makes you so angry?’” In other words, use your questions to turn the tables on your opponent.
