Arguments are usually given to support a view. Discussion is done in order to know the pro's and con's of a subject, view, problem, theme.... At the end of discussion one can come to a conclusion.

Argument is more aggressive approach of discussion, where generally one thinks that his/her point of view is correct, Whereas Discussion is more open talk where one is ready to accept others point of view.

Argument is the result of difference of opinions and is generally destructive in nature . Heated argument is called an Altercation. Discussion is something wherein the participants actively listen to each other and patiently come out with their views and suggestions.
