RLGN 105 FinalTraditional Tolerance - correct answer Tolerance is a word that applies to how we treat people we disagree with, not how we treat ideas we think false. a. Respecting and promoting the legitimate rights of others, even those with whom you disagree and those who are different from you. b. Listening to and learning from other perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds. c. Living peacefully alongside others, in spite of differences. d. Accepting other people, regardless of their race, creed, nationality, or sex. e. Traditional tolerance values, respects, and accepts the individual without necessarily approving or participating in his beliefs or behaviors. New Tolerance - correct answer To be truly tolerant, you must agree that another person's position is just as valid as your own. You must give your approval, your endorsement, your sincere support to their beliefs and behaviors. a. The new tolerance may sound like traditional tolerance, but it is vastly different. It is based on the belief that "truth is relative to the community in which a person participates. Since there are many human communities, there are, out of necessity, many relative truths." "Since truth is described by language, and all language is created by humans, all truth is created by humans." If all truth is created by humans, and all humans are "created equal," then all truth is equal. b. In contrast to traditional tolerance, which asserts that everyone has an equal right to believe or say what he thinks is right, the new tolerance says that what every individual believes or says is equally right, equally valid. Zero Tolerance - correct answer A non-flexible enforcement policy for the criminal law or informal rules. Under a system of zero tolerance, persons in positions of authority , who might otherwise exercise their discretion in making subjective judgments regarding the severity of a given offense, are instead compelled to act in particular ways and, where relevant, to impose a predetermined punishment regardless of individual culpability.
