Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Special Pleading ====== By [[daniel-chen| daniel chen]] Special pleading is when someone applies different standards or rules to themselves that are unfair compared to what they expect from others. It's easier to notice problems in others than in oneself. For example, my parents encourage us to support each other as a family, but they won't hand me things when I ask directly. Another instance is my dad telling us not to stay up late, yet he stays awake until 3 am himself. In a basketball game, I advised a classmate to move her leg when the ball came, but I didn't move mine when it came to me. To avoid special pleading, consider whether you would accept the same behavior from yourself that you correct in others. pleading-d.txt Last modified: 2024/07/04 19:29by daniel.chen
