CITIZEN SOLIDARITY

MOTIVATION AS TALKING ABOUT TABOOS PARTNER

(...) From my personal perspective ...

Absence of tolerance for differences kills curiosity and openness to diversity. Publicly – f.i. importance politicians - use "zero tolerance“ as the theme of their propaganda. There is no dialogue with reflection on the causes and consequences of non-tolerance. Especially young people for whom a dialogue between generations is difficult are left to the influence of the language of hate on the Internet and the effects of news media focused on sensation.

... Is this the case only in Poland?
