Tolerance
In everyday language people used the term “tolerance” to signify that attitude of those who put up with ideas or behavior of others which persons do not agree with or of which persons do not approve. In history of thinking, the term for tolerance has also acquired a more specific and somewhat of a different meaning, indicating a non-obstructive attitude on the part of a state towards the expression of other ideas which includes; philosophy, politics and religion that are different from dominant conceptions. In November 1995, the UNESCO Declaration of the Principles of Tolerance was signed by all the members of state that extends the traditional conception of tolerance to respect, acceptance and appreciation of the infinite richness of our cultures, our manner of speech and the way in which we express our human qualities “(Tolerance 1)”. In this sense, society must tolerate all forms which produce separatism. Tolerance is encouraged by knowledge, open mindness, great communication, and a free conscience. Tolerance is putting up with people’s attitudes, actions and behavior so that people can get along. I guess I have always had a high tolerance for pain. When I was two years old, my mom said that I fell and cracked my head on the corner of the fireplace, the scare remains at my temple: that I did not cry at all. I just go up and continued on my way. At the age of thirteen and a half I learned how not to cut carrot sticks the hard way and ended up cutting the tip of my thumb down past my thumbnail. I felt no pain in that mishap but I had to go to the hospital to stop the bleeding and get my thumb patched up. Also, at the age of fifteen, I ran into the side of a sidewalk and tore my baby toe halfway off. I should have cried out in pain but instead I walked into the house and held a wad of paper towel on my toe until my dad got home. He took me to the hospital where I waited for three
