It all depends in what sense. With magnets you have a north and a south pole, same as the earth. different poles attract, same propel away. In terms of electricity you have negitive and postive thouch both of them together and you get a spark.

Polarity is often used to describe the direction that current flows in an electrical circuit. It is definitively going in one direction. This terminology is sometimes transferred to other examples- Like when there is a debate over a particular issue that is difficult to decide about and someone demands that the issue be "black or white" they are often said to be "polarizing the debate"

Polarity is when one end of an atom has a partially negative charge and the other has a partially positive charge. Like water, the oxygen end is partially negative and the end with the two hydrogens is partially positive. The + of one molecule is attracted to the - of another and that is how water sticks together.
I wish I could draw you a picture.

Go to " chemical polarity " on wikipedia, for a kind of polarity not electric.
