If there were no differences in this world, it would not be exciting, right?, there is nothing to be debated or discussed. Well this time our discussion is about binary opposition.
What is binary opposition? binary opposition (also binary system) is a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning. Binary opposition is the system of language and/or thought by which two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against one another. It is the contrast between two mutually exclusive terms, such as on and off, up and down, left and right. Binary opposition is an important concept of structuralism, which sees such distinctions as fundamental to all language and thought. In structuralism, a binary opposition is seen as a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture, and language.

For example I took from a children's story "Lost and Found", story by Subba Rao and illustrated by FXnColor Studio.
I'll tell you a little about "Lost and Found"
Ten pundits (holy men) who go to the Ganges River to swim in the river. They hold hands while swimming. When they came for the third time, they did not hold hands. After finishing swimming they queued and there was 1 person who counted. When counting it turned out there were only 9 people, and they thought one of their friends was drowned. Even though the amount counted does not include the counters. Then there is the hat seller watching all the drama. Then he offered to help count but the saints refused because the seller was uneducated unlike those who were educated in reading well the scriptures. Then the hat seller suggests wearing the hat he sells and then puts the hat on the ground and then the hat is counted and after everything is counted, it amounts to 10 hats. The pundits thought the hat was magical and then they bought it. Hat sellers charge one rupee for each hat, and walk away happily with ten coins jingling in his pocket.
So it's very clear that the binary opposition is smart and stupid. The fool is the pundits because they can't count correctly, and the smart one is the hat seller because he managed to take advantage of the situation to sell his hat.
So thats the example that i can gave for u guys, thank you for coming to my blog. See you!!
