Tolerance is a familiar term today; having multi-ethnic friends, unusual religious beliefs, and unorthodox style and morals is totally acceptable, even chic. In pop culture, a cute, gay, vegan, Buddhist environmentalist is the epitome of the hip “hipster.” Even so, many judgments are made by many people most of the time. Groups that were once discriminated against have now come to discriminate against emerging cultures and subcultures in our society, and these subcultures discriminate and stereotype in turn. Even advocates of tolerance sometimes fail to avoid the prejudice that is a sad norm in our daily lives. I'm not saying that one culture deserves more tolerance than another; I do not support any of the groups I mention in this article. The only thing I maintain is that they deserve to be tolerated. This is the hardest part of the argument for tolerance: people place too much emphasis on who is right and who is wrong. Tolerance cannot concern a person's moral beliefs, because each person considers their values ​​as a fundamental part of their personality; if this were the basis of tolerance, no one who disagreed with anyone could tolerate it. Everyone has the right to behave according to their own morals, not someone else's; By allowing and accepting a situation like this, we welcome diversity, open-mindedness, and equity to thrive. To begin to understand why tolerance is necessary in a healthy community, we must first consider what tolerance means. Tolerance involves putting up with practices, belief systems, or people that we disapprove of; as Jones says, “we 'tolerate' when we tolerate or permit what we find objectionable” (Jones 39). The key here is the difference that lies... in the middle of the paper... on society's acceptance of homosexuality, which they discovered when they administered a political typology study. Their results are optimistic: 58% of Americans believe homosexuality should be accepted by society; the people most likely to hold this view were women, Hispanics, college graduates, Democrats, those living in the Northeast, those unaffiliated with any religious organization, and young adults (ages 18 to 29 years old). The article provides tables and graphs of the study, as well as a written analysis of its findings. While the research center takes no position on issues of homosexuality or any other belief system, the study shows that Americans, on the whole, believe not just in tolerating this alternative belief, but in accepting it.**Sennet, Richard .
