Debate is a structured situation where people are comparing the pros and cons of an issue. Unemotional and neutral, observing, comparing issues.
Argue brings in emotion where people are frequently quite angry.

@MyHaniBang then, debate is like talking about anything regardless of the topic? debate is like talking about two different issues to choose which one in the end?

@MyHaniBang but debate is to talk about different opinions or things , right. Ok friend.

yup "debate" is more about opinions, topics etc. and "argue" is more about feelings, emotions..
You weren't "fighting" whether Marc moves to Europe or Mexico right? Then you could use debate..

@MyHaniBang then, debate refers to emotions and opinions, and others etc? I understood.
argue, quarrel, and fight is for emotions and feelings only?
fulfill, carry out, perform, and hold is the same to have any event?
