Being born-and-raised in a multireligious society‚ racial tolerance was an art embedded in me.

Safavid‚ and Mughal Empires The Ottoman‚ Safavid‚ and Mughal Empires were forces to be reckoned with back in the day. Being powerful entities‚ their rise was paved with military prowess‚ religious tolerance‚ and having meritocratic systems‚ though this is not always the case. Their fall‚ however‚ was the result of their treatment of peasants‚ a plague of horrid rulers‚ and shortsighted economic handling.

Museum of Tolerance The Museum of Tolerance‚ in my opinion‚ is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells the story of the Holocaust and shows how the Jewish people were treated during that time. The museum shows film footage of deportation scenes and simulated sets of concentration camps.

Tolerance‚ as defined in the dictionary‚ is a fair and permissive attitude toward those who race‚ religion‚ nationality‚ etcetera‚ differs from one’s own. In today’s society we misuse the word tolerance. In such examples as‚ I am very tolerable of so-and-so.
