Intolerance can be defined as:
* A lack of willingness to accept views, beliefs, or behaviors that differ from one's own. This can encompass both:
* Hostility: Active aggression, anger, or hatred towards those who are different.
* Prejudice: Preconceived negative opinions or stereotypes about a group of people, often based on insufficient or inaccurate information.
But intolerance can also be:
* Passive resistance: Not actively engaging with or acknowledging people who hold different views.
* Discrimination: Treating people unfairly based on their beliefs or characteristics.
* Exclusion: Keeping people with different views or identities out of certain spaces or opportunities.
Therefore, while hostility and prejudice are key components of intolerance, they don't represent the full spectrum of the concept. Intolerance can manifest in both active and passive ways, encompassing a range of behaviors and attitudes.
