I find it interesting, from an anthropological perspective, why humans have an innate need to argue with each other when they disagree on something. I think it's because we all love big egos, and winning an argument and proving an opponent wrong helps satisfy our self-esteem.

Not all arguing/debating is started on the basis of one-upping your opponent. In its most proud form, both sides are likely well aware that the other side may not change their minds, and are just sharing their own opinions, and thoughts for the other person to consider in the hopes that both of them may come out of a debate more knowledgeable as well as having a new perspective of looking at a subject matter.
