Re: Tolerance in Culture
Tolerance means how you accommodate differences.
Its a complete package that contribute towards tolerance of a particular person living in a society. Family history, popular and well known folklore of the area, religious ideologies, etc all things count.
No culture can be categorized absolutely tolerant or violent. Things change with the time.
BTW, any specific query? illustrate with examples. khali falsafa jhaRne main maza nahin aata

Re: Tolerance in Culture
President John F. Kennedy once said, "Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others."
That's a nice way of looking at the concept of tolerance. Not everyone has to 'like' everyone else or agree with the choices people make for themselves but everyone should still have the same rights. A tolerant culture or society is one that enjoins equal rights for all peaceful members of the society.
Western nations are the most tolerant societies: Canada and the United States, New Zealand and Australia, Europe with a few exceptions like Belarus. Of course, even they had to face challenges. Europe in particular had much trouble coming to terms with its diversity. Anti-Semitism was rife until the first half of the 20th century and many, fleeing persecution in Europe, would only find safety, peace and tolerance across the pond in their new home in America. Britain this week named a very successful son of immigrants from Pakistan as culture secretary but in 1900 Oscar Wilde, despite his not insignificant contribution to British Literature, died in exile in France and homosexuality was not decriminalized until 1967. Women did not get the right to vote in Switzerland until 1971!
The take-home point, especially for developing countries, is that while a tolerant society may not be achieved overnight, it is still very much needed. Without tolerance and peaceful coexistence, it's difficult to have a successful, prosperous country.
