Our degree of tolerance for difference can determine how we react to people whose behaviours and views are very different from ours, particularly when the stakes are high and rising. In the next class, you are encouraged to reflect on your own tolerance for difference – how do you feel and how do you respond when you meet someone who is very different from you?
