    This chapter focused on the subject and the tenses. To argue, you need an issue. Blame, value, and choice are usually the main causes for an argument. Knowing the issue is important because your goal will not be met if you argue about the wrong core issue. To figure out the core issue, focus on the tense. Blaming is told in past tense, values are in the present, and choice is determined in the future. Control the issue and control the clock. In the present tense (demonstrative) it ends with people separating or bonding. Past tense (forensic) threatens punishment. And future tense (deliberative) argument promises something in the future. He also introduces the first rule of rhetoric, never debate the undebatable.…

    Constructive controversy is a process through which two individuals or groups of individuals seek to reach an agreement when their ideas, opinions and information are incompatible to those of the other (Johnson, Johnson and Tjosvold, 2006).
