Resource summary
Tolerance
There must be...
something we OBJECT to
reasons we ACCEPT some thing that we DON'T LIKE
a LIMIT to what is ACCEPTABLE
e.g. incitement to harm/active discrimination
Applies to individuals but is an important political concept
e.g. expressions of sexuality, cultural/racial difference
The concept may be difficult to apply
May invite paradoxes
e.g. difficult to set a limit to tolerance without becoming intolerant
= an apparent contradiction
Child beauty pageants
Objections
teaches young girls to accept a stereotypical view of femininity
teaches that being 'feminine' needs to be worked at - girls are not naturally attractive
encouraged to develop a sexualised image at far too young an age
Acceptance
individuals (participants/their parents) have a right to express their tastes, values etc without government interference
Rejection
Limit = use of plastic surgery on children to enhance their appearance for this kind of purpose
What tolerance ISN'T
Indifference
would mean objection isn't present
we don't have to tolerate something we're indifferent to
have no feelings towards that something
neither objecting or approving
e.g. a person may choose not to smoke themselves but have no problem with others choosing to smoke
Indulgence
= favouring a person for no justifiable reason
not the same as acceptance because we might not ACCEPT their behaviour
e.g. a teacher may have a "teacher's pet" who may get away with things such as talking in class which would usually result in punishment
in this case this doesn't mean the teacher tolerates talking in class, they're simply indulging their favourite student
Powerlessness
= the inability to reject something/impose a limit
people may endure things they object to as they don't have the power to reject
there's nothing they accept, they just can't do anything about it
e.g. victims of bullying don't tolerate bullying, they're just powerless to stop it
