oppositional practices

These are sets of SOCIAL PRACTICES that have conflicting consequences. For
example, democracy as a social practice is the opposite of dictatorship.
Democracy as a social practice implies equality, respect for human rights,
consultation and freedom of expression. On the other hand, dictatorship
implies inequality, violation of human rights and lack of freedom. Additionally,
an oppositional practice can refer to any practice which is in opposition to a
socially sanctioned practice for example, rebelling against authority or
cross-dressing.
