We live in difficult times and that is why we are very impatient, but it is very important to be tolerant.

So, what is tolerance? It is the same as mercy, .Naturally, if people are not tolerant it leads to permissiveness. Tolerance is harmony of varieties. Tolerance is honour, acceptance and understanding of rich variety of cultures of the world, our forms of self-expression and methods to display human individuality .

We are all living creatures and want for ourselves a corresponding treatment. Therefore a man must remain a man. I consider it to be right to work over yourself in order to improve, and try to correspond to a tolerant person.

My opinion about tolerance

What is tolerance?

It is hard for many people to answer this question. Arthur Helps said: "Tolerance is the only real test of civilization". Tolerance is the ability to exercise a fair and objective attitude towards those whose opinions, practices, religion, nationality and so on differ from one's own. In our modern world it is really important to be a tolerant person.

We are humans. We should have human values and respect other people.

Our world is diverse and it is normal that people are different. People have different opinions, thoughts and beliefs and all of them have a right to exist.

Lack of tolerance leads to fights, violence, and finally it destroys the peace and security of society. When people fail in their arguments they become intolerant, and then they use force and aggression to support their point of view.

So people should think about and respect not only themselves but also those who surround them.

What is tolerance?

Toleranceis important in the modern world. Many people consider themselves to be tolerant.

What does it mean to be tolerant? I think tolerance is respect for others and understanding of other people. For example a good attitude towards people of other races, the disabled, the poor and others is tolerance. So being tolerant means to treat others just the way you want them to treat you.

What is tolerance?

Tolerance means to tolerate or put up with differences. It means showing respect for the race, religion, age, gender, opinions, and ideologies of other people or groups. Recently we've had a lesson about tolerance. During our preparation for the lesson and at the lesson I learned many interesting things and I want to tell you about something .

There are many different ways to show tolerance. A person might fully disagree with others on any issue from religion to the same sex marriage, while at the same time respecting those with different opinions and treating them with dignity and respect.Disagreement doesn’t always apply to intolerance. Unfortunately, not everyone is tolerant in this world. Tolerance is often one-sided. While you show respect for and understanding of other people’s vision of life, they can ignore yours and try to reassure you that you are on the wrong side.

Usually ill-mannered people behave in such a way. I think that tolerance is necessary in any civilized society. However, it would be wrong to believe that all people can achieve compromise on any debated issue. Accepting different points of view is a learned attribute. It takes time and commitment to develop this skill. Tolerance is a useful quality indeed. Intolerance, on the contrary, can lead to many horrible acts.In my opinion, children should be taught tolerance from the very young age. If everyone was at least partially tolerant, the world would be much better place to live in.

What is tolerance?

People of different nationalities, races, religions, age and gender live in the modern world. Each person is an individual. All people have their own views on life, opinions about society and about their places in the world.

That's why I think that tolerance is very important nowadays. It plays a very important role in our modern society.

We all need to understand, that if we want to live in a happy society, we should learn to find common language with other people and be tolerant of their opinions and traditions.

I believe that if people are tolerant to each other, our society will become more harmonious and our life will be better.
