Let me know your thoughts on this the next time someone breaks down your door and murders your family. I think all of these words will find some place of meaning to you then.

In my humble opinion as a Theravada Buddhist..all experience is dualistic in nature although your question places an OR in the equation, I feel that an And is appropriate.
There is Dualism in all observable experience such as you've mentioned and I consider this Dualism to be a natural part of existence.
Many would premise a Non Dual existence, yet I would disagree.
Peace from a Buddhist....

I believe there are opposites, as you suggest!
up & down
male & female
north & south
east & west
appropriate & inappropriate
permissable & nonpermissable
light & dark
hot & cold
Amazingly man has been given Free Will to choose.
If man chooses wisely he will seek "Wisdom" to evaluate and understand the differences in these opposites.

Right and wrong is really determined by society. If you doing something you will face the consequences. If you do something "good" you will be praised by society. If you do something "wrong" you will be punished by society.
I think love is wishing well of someone no matter the circumstances. I think hate is wishing harm upon someone.

All social animals need to evolve the ability to judge altruistic vs. anti-social behavior in order to survive.

There are all those things. But each person defines them for him or her self. There aren't universal definitions of those things, if that's what you mean.
