Currently, more and more talk about tolerance.They talk about it in the newspapers, the Internet, the news ... But very few people know the true meaning of the word "tolerance".So, we see what it is.
"Tolerance" - it is a multifaceted and versatile concept.Many people mistakenly equate it to a value of "tolerance."But, despite the fact that this word is a direct translation from the English, it is not quite true interprets the meaning of the original term.Tolerance - a willingness to accept other people the quality and beliefs that do not match their own.That is, in fact, is the abandonment of the right of people to be who they are, quietly perceiving all the difference.The word "tolerance" is not always suitable, since it implies that a person has to make any inconvenience.A tolerance is not associated with discomfort.It exists, regardless of external circumstances.This is actually the realization that people are by nature equal and have the same rights to existence and beliefs.
As a rule, this term is used in the context of "tolerance towards anyone."As a rule, education of tolerance in different directions is carried out in school.Generally considered the relationship with people of other nationality, race, other religious and / or political views, different sex, age and social status, the other material conditions pertaining to different levels of development, different sexual orientation, and so on.As a rule, in relation to these people is manifested most of all intolerance.To deal with it and then create new laws, but they only give rise to new problems.This is an old conflict of minority and majority.In adopting the law in favor of the former begin to protest the second and vice versa.For example, the recently adopted law on the promotion of homosexuality reassured many parents worry about the moral health of children, but people deprived thereby homosexual means of expression and stressed their "minority".This once again illustrates the lack of media tolerance in our society, because otherwise there would arise a need for such a settlement law arising conflicts.
should however remember that tolerance - this is not love for all mankind.This is just taking it and each individual separately for what it is.Tolerant person can adequately respond to aggressive attacks to his side, but he never starts a conflict on their own.So that people do not preach love and forgiveness.They only impartially and equally apply to all people around.
Tolerance - a necessary quality that is necessary to develop in people in order to achieve a high level of humanity in society.After all, the majority of conflicts arise because of misunderstanding people value each other.If ensure mutual tolerance, we can see in people more than labels and stamps, we can see the soul behind them, and it helps to understand them and, as a consequence, to love.
