Intolerance is the art of ignoring any views that differ from your own. It __26__ itself in hatred, stereotypes, prejudice, and __27__. Once it intensifies people, intolerance is nearly impossible to overcome. But why would anyone want to be labeled as intolerance? Why would people want to be __28__ about the world around them? Why would one want to be part of the problem in America, instead of the solution?
There are many of the explanations for intolerant attitude, some __29__. childhood. It is likely that intolerant forks grew up __30__ intolerant parents and the cycle of prejudice has simply continued for __31__. Perhaps intolerant people are so set in their ways that they find it easier to ignore anything that might not __32__ to their limited view of life. Or maybe intolerant students have simply never been __33__ to anyone different from themselves. But none of these reasons is an excuse for allowing the intolerance to continue.
Intolerance should not be confused with disagreement. It is, of course, possible to disagree with an opinion without being intolerant of it. If you understand a belief but still don't believe in that specific belief, that's fine. You are __34__ your opinion. As a matter of fact, __35__ dissenters (持异议者) are important for any belief. If we all believed the same things, we would never grow, and we would never learn about the world around us. Intolerance does not stem from disagreement. It stems from fear. And fear stems from ignorance.
