Heteroflexia
Heteroflexia (sometimes cited as Heteroflæxia) is a neologism indicating the hetereogenity of flexibility in objects, people or situations. The term was first coined by José Parrella in 2004. This term is not related with the physical property of flexibility in matter, but to situations or objects.
Analysis and examples In example, when you are dealing with a situation that would have taken another way in other context, you are dealing with a heteroflexian situation. With that concept, a network security breakage is a heteroflex situation since it might be used both as an attack or as an opportunity to improve system securities. The author's idea was to coin a term who makes easy to explain the bipolar nature of things, since human beings had always polarized about situations. Take for example the political crisis in Venezuela. When people were killed in April 11th, 2004, people (who were politically polarized) said that the situation was good for the Country since it promoted a Coup d' Etat, while others said it was a bad situation since civilian were being murdered by political matters.
