What is a ditchotomy?
A dichotomy is a split into two parts which are considered to be either contradictory or mutually exclusive. For example, the colors black and white represent a classic dichotomy: either something is black, or it is white, with no room for overlap or alternatives. Dichotomies are used in a number of ways and in an assortment of fields, from philosophy tobiology, and learning to think about dichotomies can be important. It is also a good idea to learn to identify a false dichotomy; a dichotomy which is not, in other words, a true dichotomy.In biology, dichotomies are often used in keys, tools which are used to help people identify things. For example, a plant key might help people identify plants with a series of questions like "are the stems green?" Such a key is known as a "dichotomous key," and these keys can be quite reliable when well designed, as they neatly rule out options until the user is left with one solid identification. There are numerous other applications of dichotomies in fields like engineering, astronomy, economics, and so forth, and in some fields the word has a special meaning.The word is derived from the Greek dichotomia, which means "splitting in two." Humans have obviously been using dichotomies for centuries, as they can be valuable tools for quickly identifying things and thinking about the world, although the danger of dichotomies is that they can quickly lead to oversimplification. This issue has been a common topic of discussion in many fields for thousands of yearsA well known example of a false dichotomy is the saying "you're either with us or against us." In this case, the dichotomy leaves out a third option, neutrality, setting up an "us vs. them" mentality which can be very dangerous. Such flaws in logic are often used in arguments, in the hopes of brow beating an opponent into conceding a point by setting up a false dichotomy and thereby forcing the issue. As a general rule, something is a false dichotomy when its elements are not mutually exclusive or contradictory, or when some other option or concept is left out.Learning to identify false dichotomies in politics can be extremely useful. For example, a politician running for office might say "we need better roads, therefore we need to raise taxes." This of course leaves out the option of re-allocating existing funds, or of using funds in a more efficient way. The gross-over simplification of the issues is a trait common to many politicians, who want to encourage people to vote for them, along with their policies.
