1. 

   Practice.

Find out information first, and do not make assumptions about the other person's point of view.

2. 

   
   
   Identify the area of ​​debate. With some debate, you may have to know more than just facts.

Is it a question of morality, aesthetics, human rights or freedom?

3. 

   
   
   Build arguments. Building argument is like closing a table - you need a key point to support your argument like a table is supported on all fours. If you don't have strong arguments and evidence, your desk is just fragments of wood. Similar to an essay that requires a thesis statement, you will have to identify and present your main point of view and gather evidence to support your point.
   • Suppose your main point of view is "Modern art is boring," which argument supports your claim? Are you relying on the motivations of the artists? Based on the confusion of works of art, or on the fact that works are not favored by the "normal" public? Find the right arguments, and your opinion will be more convincing.

   Support your argument with vivid examples and evidence. You need to use memory and expensive details to illustrate your arguments.

1. 

   Confident and assertive. We are often drawn to confidence, and nothing can make your opinion more convincing than presented with strong conviction and relevant evidence. No matter what you're trying to prove, this attitude will reinforce your point.
   • Assertiveness does not mean being aggressive and unshakable. You need to be confident about your argument, but be open to other opinions.
   • Act like an expert in the field of debate by using examples and strong arguments to make your argument more believable. In order for someone to recognize your views on The Beatles as valuable, you have to act as if you know a lot about music.

2. 

   Put privacy into your argument. While bringing out anecdotes to prove them may be considered sophistry, arousing sympathy and compassion with personal stories related to the topic can be persuasive. These stories do not have to "prove" what you are saying but still convincing enough.
   • If you want to convince someone that the death penalty is "wrong", you will have to instill their sense of morality, which is an emotional argument. Learn about the stories of those wrongfully convicted and tell them pitifully, emphasizing the inhumaneity in the penalty system.

   Recognize the other's reasons for objections and motivations. If you know what the other person wants, it will be easier for you to respond. Once you identify the motivations behind their point of view, refine your argument to increase your likelihood of understanding.
   • A debate over gun control laws may focus on the broader questions of liberty and individual responsibility. You should debate the issues instead of just talking about one particular aspect. Ask a few questions so that the other person can see the gaps in their thoughts that you notice.

4. 

   Get the other person's trust. Empathy and understanding of the other person's point of view, give them some points when necessary, but don't forget to change their mind.
