"It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
ReplyDeleteGender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!"
~Macklemore (song: Same Love)
When this song was initially released there was global issues with it. There was didscrimination against homosexual people, homophobia, and inequality. These topics were not the only ones adressed though. As you can see from the lyrics above Macklemore talks about equality and to be free of worries about what other people think or say. It relates to tolerance because in a way the song is saying to "tolerate people" and "not let them get to you". All in all individuals need to learn to accept people for who they are instead of trying to change them.

The movie Hairspray address the theme of tolerance. Throughout the movie there is an issue with segregation and learning to tolerate each other. At the end of the movie in the song "You Can't Stop the Beat" the black and white dancers come together and the show was no longer segregated. The kids learned to tolerate each other and realized that the color of their skin did not matter, they were more similar than they thought.

The series known as "The City of Ember" is a good example of tolerance when it's required. In two of the books, known as "The People of Sparks" and "The Diamond of Dark hold", two entirely different people are forced to cooperate despite their differences. They even reach a point where thet attempt to use cannon against each other. This attempt is brought to a fault after the weapon accidentally burns a part of the village, forcing both groups to work together to prevent their community from being destroyed.
ReplyDeleteThid harsh, unforgiving environment is shown to tear people apart such a situation. But this also happens in a modernize world. People have trouble learning how to put up with one another and it rarely stops with peace. People are usually forced to help each other in a difficult situation, never in a peaceful. People should be able to always tolerate each other, no matter what, and the author makes clear distinctions about that.
-Joseph Croteau P. 2
The movie 'Remember the Titans' addresses the theme of tolerance as a racially integrated football team tries to come together. In the movies the football team is constantly being called out and ridiculed for having African American players on their team. Since there had never been a racially integrated football team everyone suspected that the team would not be any good or win any games because it had black players. Throughout the movie the team also struggles with coming together,supporting each other, and trying to ignore the people who doubt them. By the end of the movie, the team wins their final big game and starts to beak the stigma that integrated teams can't succeed because they have colored players. During the movie, not only did the players on the team have to be tolerant of each other but other teams and fans had to be tolerant of this new racially integrated team.

"Everyone is Different" is a song by Lanny Sherwin about how everyone, no matter sexual orientation, race, or skin color, should get along and live in peace. This song greatly expresses equality and living in a peaceful and equal world. It reaches out to those who have trouble accepting others unlike them. This connects to the theme of tolerance because it discusses being equally accepting and tolerating everyone.

Verse 1:
We're all different colors, we wear different clothes,
We speak differently from different zip codes.
We're short, we're tall, we're fat, we're thin,
We're square pegs in round holes just trying to fit in.
Chorus:
Everyone is different, it's really no big thing,
It's the differences between us that make life interesting.
Those little quirks that make us work are Heaven-sent,
So give a little thanks that we're all different.
Verse 2
We're wise, we're weird, we're cool, we're geeks,
We're pieces of a puzzle -- strangely unique.
But put us together and what do you see?
The world is our home, and we're one big family.

ReplyDeleteThe song “Road to Acceptance” by the band Green Day has a theme of tolerance and, as the title says, acceptance. The song tells about someone who starts to notice that there is much more hatred in the world than what they thought. People go around frowning upon each other just because they do not like something about them, or the group or region they are a part of. The song then goes on, saying that if we actually take a moment to stop hating or thinking badly of someone or something, we find that we are all the same. We feel the same feelings, and the same pain. We all want the same thing, which is to be a part of a “family” and we will sacrifice whatever we have to in order to achieve that. This relates to tolerance because the song talks about the fact of realizing that we are the same, and there is no reason to hate someone, just for the purpose of hating them. Sure, we might not approve of something or someone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start on the “Road to Acceptance” and tolerate them.

Excerpt from the song “Road to Acceptance” by Green Day:
I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same
It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain
All my life I've seemed to have this need
I think at times it even turns to greed
We all want to join some family
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing

ReplyDeleteThe song “Black Spiderman”, by Logic, is an empowerment anthem for people of all kinds that speaks about “loving everybody, no matter man, women, race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation,” (Logic's motto.) The song speaks about how he is proud of all races and religions and wouldn’t be scared to be labeled as any one of them. In the song, he takes (stereotypically) white icons like Jesus and Spiderman and asks, ‘what would they be like if they were black?’, and then with a simple lyric he brings up the question and debate over racism. This song relates to tolerance because it talks about how we should respect everyone and each other as people, regardless of any factors. Because deep down, we are all human, born for the same thing; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Below are some excerpts from the song, with slight editing to take out any curse words.
“Listen, I ain't ashamed to be white, I ain't ashamed to be Black
I ain't ashamed of my beautiful Mexican wife as a matter of fact, I know you {messin} with that
And I'm not scared of the people who tell me I should be
Do what you love and don't ever wonder what it could be
Everybody from my hood, everybody know I'm good, Sometimes I'm misunderstood
But that's just the uneducated that never related and feel like I'm fading off”
“Momma don't love me, Daddy don't love me
You could be anything you wanna be, 'Cept the person you don't wanna be”
“I just wanna be free, Not a slave to the stereotype
All alone in my room in the middle of the night, I don't have the words but my stereo might
I don't wanna be black, I don't wanna be white, I just wanna be a man today, I don't wanna be a Christian, Muslim, gay, straight, or bi, see you later, bye
Not perceived by the things I believe or the color of my skin
Or the fact I'm attracted to her, maybe him, Or the fact I'm a single mother living all alone
Looking for a man and a home to call my own, But I already have one, The only man I'ma ever need is my son, my son…
Son, say: Black is beautiful, Be black and proud
{Gosh darn} everybody hatin' on me right now, I'm black and proud
I'm just as white as that Mona Lisa, I'm just as black as my cousin Keisha, I'm biracial so bye Felicia
Praise Black Jesus now call the preacher
Maybe Jesus was black, Maybe Jesus had dreads, Spiderman should be black
I vote for Glover instead
Glover instead.”

ReplyDeleteThe song, ''Born This Way" by Lady Gaga is not just a song about self acceptance, it speaks about accepting others as well. In her lyrics, Gaga addresses that one should not be discriminated against because of race, sexuality, or religion. She sings about us all being perfect no matter how different we are. This relates to tolerance by providing endurance to the listeners of the song and the public and by reminding us that we should never go against what is different because in the end we were all born this way and that's what makes us special and unique.
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Don't be don't be don't be
Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
So we can rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and

"Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love." -Tom Hannah
ReplyDeleteThis quote expresses the idea that in order to love something or somebody for who they love they must first be able to tolerate all of the negative qualities about a person. This quote in my opinion is very true. If we learn how to tolerate a person's flaws or certain traits that we may not like and only focus on the positive side of them the world would be a much better place where everyone could love each other for what's good about them.-Victor San Martin P.5
"Tolerance is a form of intolerance:
ReplyDeletepublic acceptance, private disdain,
the pretense that humanity is one's to allow."
This stanza from the poem On Tolerance by Mucro Pondera Divinus relates to tolerance by showing that people only express tolerance when necessary, but don't feel the same way when by themselves. Tolerance does not change someone's opinion on another, and this poem talks about it. The line "public acceptance, private disdain," talks about how we keep our true feelings hidden until no one is around to see.
-Adrian Fiandor (Period 2)
In the movie and book, "The Outsiders," tolerance plays a big role in the story. In the movie the Socs discriminated the Greasers because they were from the east, which is the rough part of town. The Greasers and Socs never talk to each other, hang out together, or get along. The Socs stereotype all of the Greasers as being bad influences who are vandals, but in reality they are both the same. In the story, a Greaser and a Soc try to become friends, but their friends will not let them because Greasers and Socs have a history of not getting along. At the end of the story, they both learn to get along and tolerate each other because they are all human and are more alike than they think. Tolereance was expressed when a Soc, Cherry Valance tells the Greaser, Ponyboy Curtis, "It may come as a surprise, but things are rough all over." This quote shows that everyone experiences difficulties in their life and it is not just the Greasers who live hard lives.

ReplyDeleteThe Power of Equality by Red Hot Chili Peppers:
I've got a soul that can not sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood red, but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Right or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy
Media chief, you menance me
The people you say cause all the crime
Wake up and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to exist
Rub me wrong and I get pissed
No I can not get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr. Bigot
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But I'll break before I bend
What I see is insanity
Whatever happened to humanity
This song connects to tolerance because it talks about the inequality in our society and how we should get along. In the last line it says, "Whatever happened to humanity?", and that's basically asking what happened to common decency and respect for others. In the song it says, "You don't like it, get along," which tells us that we should get along and tolerate each other even if we don't like something or someone.
ReplyDelete"Free Your Mind"

That doesn't mean that I'm out sellin' dope no no
Oh my forgive me for having straight hair, no
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heir yeah yeah
I might date another race or color
It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers.

Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color blind, don't be so shallow
So I'm a sistah
Buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad, oooh
So why dispute me and waste my time
Because you really think the price is high for me
I can't look without being watched, and oh
You rang my buy before I made up my mind, OW!
Oh now attitude, why even bother
I can't change your mind, you can't change my color
Why oh why must it be this way?
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow…

Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow... FREE YOUR MIND!
This song, Free Your Mind by En Vogue, is a song about tolerating other people that are different and unique. It conveys the message that everyone should be treated the same no matter what their race, sexuality, religion or whatever makes them different. It also says that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover essentially just because they dress a certain way or a act a certain way.

ReplyDeleteThe video for the song I'm not racist by Joyner Lucas.
ReplyDelete(YouTube link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43gm3CJePn0, represents a form of tolerance, because there are two men siting in front of each other and it starts with a white man stating how hes not racist but as he gets momentum and keeps talking he becomes more and more racist, meanwhile the the other person siting in front of him is a black young man and the young man listens with his full attention; once the white guy finishes the other man starts rapping. Although both have different points of view the fact that they let each other speak and didn't interrupt shows a message that although they're different and have differing opinions they can still listen to each other and understand where they're coming from. Personally I think that if two people are not going to come to the same conclusion at least hearing one another speak and being respectful is a good middle ground.

ReplyDeleteThe song "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley & the Wailers is about the oppression of Africans that were taken from Africa and put into slavery through the import and export of slave ships, and that you must "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds!", which means that if even though they had little hope and were in slavery, they needed to want to be free from the ignorance brought forth by discrimination, and only then can they truly rise up against the lack of tolerance of the Africans. This song continues on with several other references of discrimination against people, such as "How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look", meaning that high powers that oppress others are willing to kill anything that would pose a threat to them, and not tolerating anyone else's ideas. This song relates to tolerance by showing the lack of tolerance in the time of the racial discrimination of the Africans slaves.
[Verse 1]
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty

We've got to fulfill the book

ReplyDelete“Our true nationality is mankind.” - H.G Wells
ReplyDeleteThis quote is saying that there is only one type of person, no black or white. There should be no reason to discriminate each other when we all came from the same place. Equality is something we have to work towards. This relates to tolerance because we have to learn to tolerate everything around us; discrimination, racism, sexism. There is no race or gender that is above another.
Sofia Saiz Period 2
The movie Pocahontas by Disney is considered a classic. The movie does do a good job of promoting lessons of tolerance though. Because it is from the perspective of a Native American woman, the viewers can get a first look on how she lives her life and allows them to see that there is not much difference in Native Americans aside from the way they acquire the things they need. It also shows conflict, and the lack of tolerance from the English who invaded and killed many Native Americans. The movie does a good job in explaining and showing the problems not having tolerance can cause and why humans in general are not all that different, no matter what ethnic group we come from.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of tolerance in media is not exactly a poem, song, movie, or novel, but rather a video game. The video game was extremely popular in 2015, it is called Undertale. The game begins with a brief explanation of the war against humans and monsters, and how the humans successfully won the war. The game later traps you in the place the monsters were sealed away, and you can then choose if you want to be hostile or passive to these monsters. Being hostile in the game is a lot easier, but if you are hostile, you will generally get a less satisfying ending. Being passive in the game allows you to explore the culture of the monsters and the way they live their lives after being trapped underground by humans. It allows you to understand them, and be friends with them. The ending for being passive is a lot more satisfying and conclusive.

ReplyDeleteIn the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", one of the main characters, Atticus Finch is defending a black man in court. He is explaining that just because people are a different skin color, it doesn't mean that they are bad.
"Which, gentlemen, we know is in itself a lie as black as Tom Robinson's skin, a lie I do not have to point out to you. You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral, some Negro men are not to be trusted around women—black or white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men. There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing, and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire."

ReplyDelete“Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.”
― George Carlin
This quote is saying to find a religion that fits your beliefs and culture. However, it is also saying not to exercise these beliefs to the point where you're forcing others to believe in your religion. You must tolerate others and their different beliefs from yours because not everyone is the same as you. Everyone has different "sized shoes" and forcing others to wear a bigger or smaller size will not work. Tolerance is recognizing others differences without imposing punishment for those differences.

“Imagine” –John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
This lyrical composition, which is denominated as “Imagine”, was formulated by the eminent musician: John Lennon. It depicts a society that is divided by no boundaries, where there exists no ideal that distinguishes an individual from another. It explicitly states, “Imagine there’s no countries [..] Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too.” The poetic work is stressing the notion that human beings would see each other as equals when all other segregating elements were removed. This is evidently what the concept of tolerance delineates. Being tolerant of an individual signifies a level of respect that you’re holding for that person, in spite of their religion or color. Thus, by being open minded and accepting, you are comporting yourself as a tolerant individual. Within the song, John Lennon conveyed that in a world lacking of religions, nations, and possessions, we would be able to perceive one another as equals. This in itself, is what the notion of tolerance encapsulates: a willingness to overlook factors (such as nationality) and peacefully coexist.

I think this has a connection to tolerance because it uses repition to get the singers point across. The singer repeatedly says “why can’t we be friends” meaning why can’t everybody just get along. There is also another part of the song that goes “The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony“ meaning that the way we look shouldn’t affect the way we treat each other
(Jazmin Arroyo Per. 2) “We’re all different colors, we wear different clothes,
ReplyDeleteWe speak differently from different zip codes.
We’re short, we’re tall, we’re fat, we’re thin,
We’re square pegs in round holes just trying to fit in.

-Everyone is different from Lanny Sherwin
Everyone is different is originally made as a children’s song and speaks about how we should all wear all different but we’re all the same in different ways and that there is no reason to fight with each other.
The song "Define Me" shows tolerance because it explains how no matter who you love, even if you are against the others sexual orientation, you shouldn't judge them as a different person or a different species.

The song "Love" shows tolerance because it explains that people should stay with their partner no matter what happens through the ups and the downs. It shows that their love is all that they need to survive.
ReplyDeleteLyrics:
If I didn’t ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)
If I made up my mind at work would you still (love me)
Keep it a hundred, I'd rather you trust me than to (love me)
Keep it a whole one hund', don't got you I got nothing
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
So give me a run for my money
Sipping bubbly, feeling lovely, living lovely
Just love me
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you
