Good vs evil
War vs peace
Men vs women
Black vs white
Sanity vs madness
Levi Strauss uses the idea of two different concepts clashing through social or moral reasoning such as the most basic being good vs evil this comes up in many ways during homeland with the idea of Black Vs White with the war on terrorism as homeland panders in the direction of racist as it uses the idea of terrorists being middle eastern and no one really takes the guess that it is Brodie.
The idea of Men Vs Women is played with a fair bit as carrie being a female lead was also shown sleeping around with Brodie and hinted at others this holds a slight sexist view as it uses a females sexuality to exploit males through sexual favours.
Homelands differs from others as it holds the idea of Sanity Vs Madness using Carries mental illness to cause the curiosity of weather Carrie is braking down or being serious and is just convinced she is on to something. through the first season mental health is constantly revisited throughout as well as the possible chance of Brodie having PTSD it was shown as a thing during a dream in the first few episodes but barley referenced after so although the chance is there it has no 100% proof.
Finally War Vs Peace a huge part of this specific crime drama the fight of whats right and the fight to find the perfect way to come to world peace little hint its possibly peace. this links in to the evolution of Neal. a huge link to this however isn't only the fact that a war is going on but it is the idea of america and their guns trade.
