International Day for Tolerance

11/19/2021

0 Comments

 
International Day for Tolerance is observed on November 16 as a time to celebrate open-mindedness and listening. Tolerance may be defined as accepting others who are different in their race, culture, habits, and beliefs. Ways to participate in International Day for Tolerance includes reading about different cultures, listening to neighbors with opposing point of views, and participating in events of remembrance or advocacy. There is importance in celebrating this day because it’s educational, brings others together, and reminds us that tolerance is a constant effort. 

Tolerance is an important skill to develop, because people will not always agree on things. It's human nature to have differing opinions and thoughts. However, there is a big difference between tolerating different opinions and accepting others' race, culture, habits, and beliefs. It's important to be mindful that acceptance is actually the end goal to creating an inclusive society rather than just tolerance. 

Eight Tips to Build Tolerance in Your Life

  • Own your feelings. 
  • Look within yourself. 
  • Check your ego.
  • Meditate
  • Remember that change is imminent.
  • Utilize your power. 
  • Keep perspective.
  • Practice patience.
