We Won’t Tolerate Intolerance

What is intolerance? What is Intolerance in today's world? You’re probably thinking that you don’t tolerate it when your big sister pushes you around or that you’re parents don’t tolerate it when you talk back, but what exactly does it mean when newspapers and magazines have the headline “Intolerance today is getting out of hand”. Intolerance isn’t just when you don’t tolerate something or someone and it’s more than your parents taking away your phone when you talk have an attitude . Intolerance can be shown a multitude of different ways but intolerance in modern day society or even in the past is quite different than intolerance in the household. With events like the Holocaust and the shooting at Sandy Hook it’s

Oviously it all started because the nazi’s of Germany did’nt want to tolerate the jews back in the late 1930’s and 40’s. This led to a brutal murder of over 6 million people, all because one man caused everyone to believe that jewish people were inferior to Germans. Belief, that’s a key word throughout actions of intolerance. Usually someone has different beliefs than another they don’t tolerate them. So, Hitler not tolerating Jews is a great example of how one persons intolerance can go way over the top. A more recent example of Intolerance is the Columbine school shooting that took place April 20, 1999. Two boys, Eric Harris and Dylan klebold were done tolerating the kids who bullied them, so they shot their high school up. This sad story of intolerance resorted in 13 high schoolers killed. An extremely recent example of Intolerance would be the shooting that took place at Pulse nightclub on June 12, 2016. This example is really important to me because the shooter did what he did because of his intolerance towards the LGBT community. I personally have a family member that is a homosexual and the mass murder of 49 innocent people at a gay nightclub makes me worry about him. Why? Well, that leads us into our next

It’s important to know that there are a few benefits to Intolerance, but a certain type of intolerance. It’s probably a good thing that your parents may not tolerate drugs and alcohol. If they did tolerate harmful substances you may end up and addict and they’re just trying to keep you safe. Your parents may not tolerate music or television shows that feature violence, sex, or colorful language because they don’t want you to use bad language, do drugs, or have sex. Again some types of intolerance are enforced to keep you safe, but as far as intolerance against people and their beliefs in everyday society I think we could sure as hell stop by just shutting up. Shut up! Nobody cares if you’re anti gay, anti muslim or anything else. Unless the gay muslims are hurting you in any way don’t say anything because nobody cares. Intolerance in today's society has gone so out of hand because we feel the need to share our opinion, but in reality I don’t think muslim practices or two guys making out is anyone's business but there's so maybe we could all just shut up and get along. In conclusion intolerance happens all the time everywhere and it has been for a while, so maybe instead of complaining about it in essays or in general we could all just shut up and mind our own
