10/26: Tolerance Notes pg. 32L

Tolerance is accepting that other people are
different, and not discriminating against
others because of those differences.

You don’t have to agree with someone in
order to tolerate them.

discrimination and intolerance.
African Americans during Slavery
Jews during the Holocaust
Homosexuals throughout history
Muslims after 9/11

background, and ethnicity
2.
You appreciate your own culture, along with the
diversity of other people and their cultures
3.

another culture.

Cultural Competence Scale
1. Cultural Competence
Full understanding of your own culture and exploration of other
cultures to understand the strengths of each. This requires people to step
out of their comfort zone by dialoging with people different from yourself.
2. Tolerance & Acceptance
Having the ability to not think one culture is better than another.
3. Ethnocentricism (Live & Let Live)
Thoughts and actions that demonstrate the belief that one culture is better than another.
Usually, people have an attitude of live and let live, which roughly translates into,
“You stay away from me and I’ll stay away from you.”
4. Discriminate, Disdain & Hatred
The practice of unfairly judging another by stereotyping all members of a certain group
and discriminate against them. People in this category commonly use racial epitaphs
and/or make fun of others.
5. Acting on Negative Emotions
The process of openly hating and acting violently towards specific groups of people
(KKK, race wars/ gang violence, Holocaust, genocide)
Functions of Culture
1. Culture defines the accepted behaviors, roles, interpretations, and
expectations of a social group. Nothing escapes the power of
culture. How people dress, what they eat, what they do for fun,
how they spend their free time, what they believe in, and how
they act is defined by their culture.
2. Culture gives people a sense of identity. Having gender identity,
age, religion, history, and certain material possessions provide
the tools through which self-identity is created.
There are cultural misconceptions…
•Culture is foreign
•Culture belongs to someone else
•Culture is exotic
•Culture and ethnicity are synonymous
•Culture is colorblind
•Culture is primarily external
Instead, culture is acquired.

4.
Culture is learned from birth
Culture is shared
Culture is adaptive and changing
There are variations among people of the same cultural group.

Body Paragraph: Topic sentence

Throughoutmy life, I have witnessed discrimination,
intolerance, and have personally been shown discrimination.
People may think that just because I’m white, I’m rich. This
isn’t true; in fact, I’ve had a job since I was fifteen years old and
worked in order to pay my way through college. Additionally,
some people may discriminate against students from San
Fernando and think that everyone is gang affiliated. This is
untrue, however, and people shouldn’t judge someone based on
the neighborhood that they come from. Everyone should be
Ex #2 and
treated equally and with tolerance. Conclusion 
