Promote Tolerance, Encourage Understanding
Nowadays the world has become more colourful
than ever. It is normally that each society
consists of different members. But sometimes,
as the experience shows, for some people it is
quite hard to accept this diversity. Some people
simply have homophobia, xenophobia; some of
them are sexists or even racists. But we cannot
live in a tolerant world if there still people live
who are afraid of unknown, if there are people
who think that women do not have the same
rights the men have etc. To my mind each of
us is responsible for taking an active part to
promote tolerance and encourage understanding.
So searching for the answer to the given question:
what can I do to promote tolerance, to
encourage understanding? Actually I could not
imagine myself in the role of just a lecturer
who tries to explain that it is important to be
tolerant, especially if I have to tell it to youngsters.
I can already see their bored faces. It is
the easiest way to tell about something even
giving some examples, but actually people are
tired of this information flood. They are already
enough fed up with the information booklets
before the entering the European Union. So
this explanation action should be done in a different
way. The thing I can do is to give the
information to the local society but try to do
that in an interactive way. Promoting tolerance
should become like a topic of advertisement.
And advertisements work to all human senses.
They are audible, visual, and touchable. They
can shock, they can fascinate and they can put
smile on your lips. The thing I could try is to
make a kind of advertising action for tolerance
in my local community.
The first thing that comes to my mind to fascinate
people is culture. The diversity of culture is
so amazing and culture is so universal because
it includes so many topics. For example, why
do people enjoy travelling so much? They like
to see other cultures; they love to try national
dishes abroad, see national dances, and listen
to national music. Looking at the problem
xenophobia – it is actually fear from unknown.
It is fear from strangers, fear from people with
different skin colour, fear from different religious
beliefs etc. So the thing I could do: turn
the unknown and strange into the well known.
And what could be better than introducing
people with different cultures. In my local
community the biggest problem connected
with intolerance action is a kind of xenophobia
to Romes. People are still afraid of them and
many residents still have the stereotype if it is a
Gipsy then probably he is a criminal. However,
that is the reason we know very little about
their culture. But the whole world enjoys “The
Gipsy King” music; the whole world loves the
passion in the Gipsies’ dance. What could be
better than show their dances or playing their
national music in the streets of my town -
Talsi? I could make an event in the streets of
Talsi where the Romes’ musicians could play
the guitars and sing their songs, their dancers
could show their dances and their passers-by
could join them. They could see that Romes are
talented and they have so wonderful and wide
souls. I could show them a small part of different
culture. And as Albert Einstein, the famous
physicist, has said “With knowledge comes
understanding”
When thinking about the problems connected
with intolerance in our society my mind catches
the word sexism. Maybe we even think that it
is not a problem and maybe the men and
women get the same salary but there are still
some stereotypes according to the role of men
and women in the society and in the house.
My point of view is that there are no unique
women duties that only they can do for example,
cooking, washing-up, doing the laundry
etc. So the thing I could do: is to change Domestic
Science lessons between boys and girls
at my school for a month, probably. Make the
boys change turnery to cooking and the girls
change knitting to making bird-cages. To my
mind that could just make the right world outlook,
both sexes can do the same things and
there are no things that could not be done by
one of the sexes. And if this has been shown to
children when they are still growing and not
when already 20 they are still flexible and can
change their opinion then maybe after some
years when someone asks something about
sexism we could just answer: “Sexism, what is
that?”
But all the problems are actually connected
with the part that we sometimes see differences
and we cannot accept that we all are
similar, that a person with a different skin colour
is the same human being as you are. The
action I could make would be painting people
in the streets with one colour stripes showing
them that they all are in the same colour and
they are the same for example. They all have
the stripes on their faces in the same colour. As
the history shows that colour can unite and
hopefully this painting action could open
somebody’s eyes.
Taking everything into account, there are still
different problems connected with intolerance.
And each of us can do something to improve
the situation. In my point of view information
should become as an advertisement which attracts
one’s attention. All the street actions or
some cultural events, painting one colour stripe
on everyone’s face will show we all are similar,
changing some lessons at school, everything
can help to achieve the aim – promote tolerance
and encourage understanding. I can do all
of them trying to show my responsibility into
taking an active part to promote tolerance and
encourage understanding. That is my strong
belief.
