I know that there is a slightly difference between the meanings of these words, could anyone explain them?

Hi, I know that there is a slightly difference between the meanings of these words, could anyone explain them? Very briefly put, 'argue' stresses a disagreement, an expression of opposing points of view. 'Discuss' does not stress this kind of difference.
