It thrives on the tension between irreconcilable, exclusive, coexisting opposites and the unlikely polarities they represent. This may account, at least in part, for her tendency to organize disagreement into opposing polarities. We tell the solstice story in our own lives as we identify the polarities, the conflicting needs and desires, that give rise to our own distress and dis-ease. Steiner even speaks of the tension between the search for community and the experience of individuality, which, he believed, are not really contradictions but represent polarities rooted in human nature. With the ideological polarity of the cold war, the UN procedures for collective security were still-born (as either of the superpowers and their allies would veto any action proposed by the other). In every aspect of life, polarities are inevitable: We want to live, yet we must die. Dualities such as light/dark thus exist as polarities - two opposite yet complementing aspects of a whole. The polarity between male and female is, following Philo's procedure, often allegorized as an anthropological dualism or dichotomy. What is it about this phenomenon which causes such a polarity of opinion? The dissenting voice that objects to the gynocentric language of difference unwittingly reinforces the prevailing representation of herself, if only because she acquiesces in the notion of difference as opposition, as polarity. Interestingly enough, a lot of magickal material uses male and female as a way of talking about duality or polarity, self and other etc, - but focuses on the moment where dualism collapses. Indeed, it has been argued that the discourse of race in the United States is founded on the dichotomy, and polarity, of black and white. All the dichotomies and polarities can be dissolved and forgiven in that blessed moment of utter peace and tranquility. First is the duality obvious in all of Carter's work: polarity of opinion, love/hate, but also the contrast between the decorative and the practical in her work, the imprecise and the rigorous. I tried to work it out so that each one was only part of a great celestial mass of energy with two polarities: Male and Female.

Example sentencesExamples The polarity and the distinct centre of densely cytoplasmic cells were lost after day 10 owing to the increased proliferative activity of densely cytoplasmic cells. The asymmetric zygotic division fixes polarity, which may rely on the asymmetric delivery of cell wall components, possibly AGPs, and which requires GN in order to execute it. Tissue polarity is functional as organisms have sensory receptors to detect mechanical and thermal stimuli from the environment. As usual with cladistic analyses, the vast majority of anatomical traits are scored as a present-absent polarity in each organism. In this mutant, the anterior region of each segment is duplicated in mirror-image polarity, and the posterior region is lost.
