The U.S. Needs Tolerance More Than Unity
Tolerance allows us to live in harmony despite deep-seated differences
Tolerance functions as a barrier to discrimination. Unlike the goal of unity, tolerance does not involve compliance or social pressure, which can backfire. Instead, by asking us to reflect on internalized reasons to accept that which we disapprove of, rather than demanding people relinquish their deeply held beliefs or values, tolerance mitigates the risk of conflict in a pluralistic society.
