- Xophmeister 7y agoYou're the PM; the army's been sent in, at your command; now you have to justify your decision. Thus it presupposes it was the "right thing" in the PM's context.
- lucozade 7y agoIt doesn't presuppose that the killing is right. It's asking the child to formulate a speech as if they were a PM justifying it. Understanding how public figures use language to justify their actions is a very useful skill. Being able to use language persuasively is also a very useful skill. And it's common practice in these types of exercise to use either scenarios that are difficult to argue or to argue both sides.
