Argument
 In everyday life, people often use "argument" to mean a
quarrel between people. In critical thinking, an argument is a list
of statements, one of which is the conclusion and the others are
the assumptions of the argument.
 To give an argument is not necessarily to attack or criticize
someone. Arguments can also be used to support other people's
viewpoints.
