toleration
Definition
- Toleration—derived from the Latin verb tolerare, menaing to endure, to bear with—refers to “a deliberate choice not to interfere with conduct which is disapproved” (Horton and Nicholson 1992, 2). The term is generally used to describe the actions of both individuals and governments, and an extensive scholarly literature has explored the attitudinal structures, personal characteristics, and developmental influences that lead people to tolerate, to combine a negative judgment about something with a conscious decision not to interfere with or suppress it.
