Limits of tolerance between diversities and inequalities

Abstract

Contemporary the societies are becoming increasingly complex and multicultural. The diversity in its several expressions, figure in a multicolored mosaic characteristic of modernity. However, as diversity grows, the phenomenon of intolerance spread with great force, which destroys the possibility of good coexistence in society. The dire scenario outlined with the last elections in Brazil, in October 2022, which still reverberates and seems endless, reveals the dangers of intolerance. In this sense, our article will seek to reflect on the topic of tolerance, going beyond its original etymological meaning that expresses passivity, seeking to highlight the limits for such a posture, that is, everything that violates the dignity of the human person. For this, the reflection of professor Clodoaldo Meneguello Cardoso (2003) who works on the theme from the Latin American ground will help us.
