True Meaning of Debate vs What the Internet Believes

These memes (above and below) were very interesting to come across and put it very simply, one, what the difference is between an argument and a debate. And two, it has also shown me that we, in this day and age, have a hard time differentiating the two due to the advancement in technology and how easy it is to access different articles and see differing viewpoints that are taken as "facts" to many people. Morpheus puts it quite well, debate is not about who wins but the exchange of information and knowledge and the expansion of one's viewpoint. Dictionary.com defines debate as "a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints." Nowhere in there is there anything about winning like our society believes is involved in a debate and what we see from so many candidates in political debates. It is supposed to be a discussion. not a yell fest to see who can talk louder or who can through more facts in the face of the other to prove a point. An argument can be a discussion, but we no longer see that. We see it as some sort of disagreement or opposition and often on the internet, we see these "debates" (but really arguments) as these, like I said before, yell fests or times in which people belittle the other person rather than talk about the argument at had. We need to learn the art of debate and holding a discussion. We need to learn how to coexist with others of differing viewpoints and try to have an exchange in knowledge in our discussion rather than just trying to "win". It's not supposed to be who can talk louder or spit more fact out, and it can't be this anymore.
