In a multicultural society where individuals come from different backgrounds and observe different religious beliefs, being able to tolerate and respect each other's opinions and faith is the only way to foster peace and unity.

2. FOSTERING TOLERANCE
Educate the People
Tolerance within a society can be fostered in various ways.
Education plays a big role in ensuring that people unders-
tand the differences between various cultures, ethnicities
and religions. Without this knowledge, insecurities crop up
that can lead people to treat others with suspicion.
In a multicultural society where individuals come from different backgrounds and observe different
religious beliefs, being able to tolerate and respect each other’s opinions and faith is the only way to
foster peace and unity. Tolerance ensures that people appreciate each other’s background without
prejudices or hostilities. In societies where people of different faiths live and work together, tolerance is
a vital tool for recognising that harmony can exist.

3. Legal Backing
Having a strong legal framework can
lead to better unity among individuals
of different backgrounds. Where the
law is clear on how to handle racial
discrimination, religious prejudice
and all forms of intolerance, it is ea-
sier for people to appreciate the role
of justice in the community.
Eliminate Stereotypes
Communities and individuals have to
work harder to dispel stereotypes and
pre-set notions about race, religion,
culture and backgrounds if toleran-
ce is to be encouraged. Stereotypes,
often the product of misinformation,
can lead to a wrong view about a par-
ticular group of people and the deve-
lopment of prejudices against them.
