Response to Lam

According to Lam Binary oposition is a problem in discourse because it have the potential of preventing people from forming relationship with other people. When difference groups of people form relationships with each other they become members of more than one groups. According to Lam people association with people that are different from them enable them to share their discourse and use careful negotiation between their various discourse practices. When Binary oposition is used it create disunity among people, it create hatred and stop them from careful negotiation between their various discourse practices. Member of a group who believe they have been oppressed began to view their oppressor discourse as evil and they warn other members of their group about the danger and evil of the other group discourse. The hate that binary opposition create take away people ability to use careful negotiation between the various discourse practices they share. It take away their creative ability of having different views about reality. Binary oposition prevent people from forming important relationship that can expose them to new reality and ways of thinking. It prevent people from improving themselves.
