   %DYNAMIC DISCRIMINATE DICHOTOMY POLAR DIFFERENCE 930120

     When   injustice   occurs   through   discrimination,
capriciousness,   or arbitrary decisions made on the basis
of class identifications;  class distinctions  become  the
basis  for  calling  some traits "good"  and other  traits
"bad".   The differences between "good"  traits and  "bad"
traits become increasingly polarized. Each group of people
becomes  a  pole in a dichotomy  wherein members  of  each
group seek to clarify through their judgments why they are
"better"  or less unjust than are the members of the other
group.

     When  dichotomies  grow because  of  injustices based
upon the existence of dichotomies,  the growth often has a
tendency  to  be exponential;  because the rate of  growth
depends   upon   the  extent  of  the   previous   growth.
Exponential  growth  always  brings  about  changes  which
ultimately  undermine the possibility of future  growth---
often with tragic transitions between the period of growth
and  the  termination  of  the  period  of  growth.    The
transition  may be catastrophic when viewed with  adequate
perspective.

     We  will  do  well to seek to recognize and  describe
patterns  of  growth  in injustice;  to see  if  they  are
motivated   and  driven  by  dichotomies,   polarizations,
differentiations,  discriminations  and the like---wherein
the   participants  reflect  upon  their  estrangement  as
grounds  for  viewing  themselves as  "better"   than  the
"others"  in the estrangement relationship.  Alienation is
never proper grounds for calling oneself better than those
from whom one is  alienated.  It is  virtually always more
proper to regard alienation as an evil reality.
