Personality Development

Personality development is the relatively enduring pattern of thoughts, feelings, and


behaviours that distinguish individuals from one another. It is becoming a better version
of yourself. The dominant view in the field of personality psychology today holds that
personality emerges early and continues to change in meaningful ways throughout the
lifespan. Evidence from large-scale, long-term studies has supported this perspective.

Tolerance

The term “toleration”—from the Latin tolerare: to put up with, countenance or suffer—
generally refers to the conditional acceptance of or non-interference with beliefs, actions
or practices that one considers to be wrong but still “tolerable,” such that they should not
be prohibited or constrained. There are many contexts in which we speak of a person or
an institution as being tolerant: parents tolerate certain behaviour of their children, a
friend tolerates the weaknesses of another, a monarch tolerates dissent, a church tolerates
homosexuality, a state tolerates a minority religion, a society tolerates deviant behaviour .

“When you practice tolerance, you accept another's


ideas and beliefs. If you respect someone's opinions
— even if you disagree or find them nonsensical —
you display tolerance.”
