Is this as ridiculous as it seems to me or is the declaration a selfish document?
Whether it is or isn't selfish isn't the point. The point is to make a persuasive argument that it is selfish. It's a good exercise.
It's like you're on the debate team and you have to prepare a debate about capital punishment. You don't get to choose whether you're arguing the affirmative or the negative. You just take your assignment and go with it syllogistically and persuasively. What your subjective beliefs tell you is a different matter altogether.
Yeah, thats what I thought. But teenagers hate assignments were they have to argue against their own beliefs.
Attorney's do hat every day. Yeah suck it up and do it. No big whup.
