Ghebi Public School
Subject: English
Teacher: Tamari Samsonidze

2. “Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich
diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and
ways of being human.”

3. In 1996, the UN General Assembly (by resolution 51/95) invited UN
Member States to observe the International Day for Tolerance on 16
November.
The International Day for Tolerance is a
time for people to learn about respecting
and recognizing the rights and beliefs of
others.

4. What is tolerance?
Tolerance is the virtue of a civilized
age. It is the virtue that helps us to
put up with those, who have
different ways and opinions, and
outlook on life. It enables us to see
always the other side of things, to
suffer fools with patience, fanatics
without losing out temper.

5. Tolerance is the most necessary quality of man. Tolerance is one of the
conditions of good manners. Intolerance leads to the worst disaster. So, we
put so much importance on tolerance.

6. Tolerance is the appreciation of diversity and the ability to live and let
others live. It is the ability to exercise a fair and objective attitude
towards those whose opinions, practices, religion, nationality and so
on differ from one's own.

8. As William Ury notes,
"tolerance is not just
agreeing with one another
or remaining indifferent in
the face of injustice, but
rather showing respect for
the essential humanity in
every person."

9. Importance Of tolerance
Tolerance is really a very highly useful
quality. It is one of the basic principles
of good manners. We can do justice if
we are tolerant to hearing the different
views of others. If we are tolerant we
can make the due assessment of the
views of others. Tolerance as a quality
is indispensable in the democratic
countries. Tolerance is the first
condition for the exercise of of all
views. We must be tolerant of the
views however bitter that may be. So,
every student, every citizen and every
individual culture the habit of tolerance.

10. Albert Einstein
“Laws alone can not secure
freedom of expression; in
order that every man present
his views without penalty
there must be spirit of
tolerance in the entire
population.”

13. Religious intolerance
is intolerance of another's
religious beliefs or practices or
lack thereof.
Mere statements which are
contrary to one's beliefs do not
constitute intolerance. Religious
intolerance, rather, occurs when a
group (e.g., a society, a religious
group, a non-religious group)
specifically refuses to tolerate
one's practices, persons or beliefs
on religious grounds.

14. “We may be uncomfortable talking about race, but we can no longer afford to
be silent. We have chosen a profession that—like parenting—requires us to put
our comforts second to those of children.”
Jamilah Pitts

15. “In order to make classrooms physically, emotionally and mentally welcoming to all
students, we have to be aware of ableist attitudes. And we must emphasize that
disability is simply another difference, like race or gender.”
Cara Liebowitz

16. “By connecting stereotypes to myths and then dispelling
those myths, students will confront the lies that are the
foundation of bigotry toward immigrants.”
Immigration Myths Lesson

17. “Hate, bias and passivity toward harm to others all thrive on a
lack of knowledge. We stand up for one another when we get
more informed about fellow human beings and the world.”
Mica Pollock

18. “When you take stories of adversity and flip them into stories of
glory—of how the human spirit is able to overcome, even in the
worst of circumstances—there is power that our students stand to
get from that.”
Barbie Garayúa-Tudryn
