Explanation:

1. Understanding one's own cultural framework is a foundational step to recognizing and appreciating the nuances of other cultures, as it provides a reference point for identifying differences and avoiding ethnocentrism.
2. Pairs like good/evil and male/female are clear examples of dichotomies, which are pairs of mutually exclusive, opposing concepts. Dualistic thinking is the process of using such pairs, while the dialectical approach involves synthesizing opposing ideas, making "dichotomies" the correct term for the concepts themselves.
