Tolerance and intolerance in contemporary Iraqi theatrical texts
Abstract
Research Summary:
Societies vary in their cultures, religions, and sects, which form the foundations of the social system with its individuals and their diverse and multiple relationships. Their paths are determined by social values, traditions, and cultural patterns that differ in their behaviors, motives, and goals regarding the right to recognize and accept or reject the other, and their denial, by elevating the selfish self over the collective self. (Tolerance and intolerance) are important value pillars for the formation and construction of the social and cultural systems of human peoples. With tolerance, peoples are strengthened and built, and with intolerance, societies disintegrate and peoples are weakened. Tolerance is a symbol of courage, while intolerance is a symbol of weakness that takes negative, fanatical, and inflexible positions.
