Devil's Advocate


A devil's advocate is someone who, given a certain argument, takes a position he or she does not necessarily agree with, for the sake of debate. In taking this position, the individual taking on the devil's advocate role seeks to engage others in an argumentative discussion process. Wikapedia

Lower level students - please check your understanding of the situation. When I demonstrated the word ethnocentric in class by being an obnoxious British person who looked down on French culture - this was only an act to make you think. I love French culture!
I heard a student say "Why Frankie hate French people?"
