Two sides to everything

Today I missed my Media Histories and Cultures Lecture because I was feeling a bit sick. But with the help of internet and my friends who managed to attend the lecture, I was able to gain some understandings from today's topic. And it was about "Two sides to everything".

From what I have understood, it means that everything in the world has a different side to it to counter it. For example, black colour has white to counter, good has evil to counter, male has female to counter, fat has skinny to counter, dark has light to counter and so on.

Everything having two sides helps us to create a contrast between them and distinguish between things. If there were just days and nights did not exist, we would not even know about the days. So, in order to identify the days we needed to know the existence of nights as nights are the other side of the days that creates a contrast between themselves and helps us distinguish between them.

Understanding this topic is definitely beneficial to my course study as in Digital Animation, we often have to make certain things stand out from the rest where creating the contrast by showing the two sides can be handy.
