In 1996, The General Assembly of the United Nations invited it's member States to observe the international Day for Tolerance on November 16th. 1995 was the UN year for Tolerance. It is a holiday where we as humans try to be tolerant to others whose beliefs, cultures, appearance and way of life is different than the we we have been accoustmed to. It is a day where we try to respect others and not give in to prejudgice. Sometimes being tolerant means tolerating others who do not tolerate us.
