What is an argument?
 In writing, an argument is a way in which one
proves a thesis, or main idea of an essay or
longer researched writing.This is often
confused with writing contentious work that
deliberately attacks or inflames an opposing
viewpoint without support.The argument is
actually the support of the main theme, and
is not an opinion.The better the support,
based on facts and evidence, the better the
argument.
