tolerance; when you are forced to face and accept the Other as real, unavoidable,

new - and trouble - way.” What he meant is that because some people are isolated
they think that their culture is the only culture out there and when they later
learn about other culture they are forced to accept the reality that there are
other cultures. That each culture has their own characteristics. The difference
