Argument is talking against or for to the topic, Discussion is talking on the whole and getting a best solution

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 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.
