Examples of manifestations of intolerance


Situation 1. Pupils of the sixth grade were preparing for a general school quiz. It was necessary to form a team, pick up a name, draw an emblem. Before the competition there were several days, but the 6th class was not prepared. Students could not choose the most deserving to participate in the team: the boys felt that they should be represented only by the class, and the girls insisted exclusively on their participation. “Girls do not know how to think, they will necessarily lose, because they quarrel among themselves for the right to answer questions,” the boys proved the validity of their position. To which the girls kept saying: “All the boys are untidy, awkward and uncomfortable, they will never properly represent our class!”

Situation 2. Arriving home, Andrei began telling Mom about the events in the school. “What about Petrenko Vasya?” – Mom asked. Andrei was very surprised that his mother asked about this boy, because he was not

friends with him. “I can not say anything,” Andrei was embarrassed, “I do not even know if he was at school, I never see him at all.” -“Why?” – Mom did not calm down. “He’s so useless, he’s studying badly, it’s disgusting for me to look at him and he does not notice his teachers…” “That’s how it is,” my mother said thoughtfully. “And I met Vasya’s mother today, she told me that Vasily won in city chess competitions and will now represent our city in the all-Ukrainian tournament. “

Situation 3. At the break of the girls leafed a fashion magazine. One model caused a lively debate. “This dress is completely unsuccessful,” remarked Katya, “and the tape has nothing to do with it…” All the girls, agreeing, called new and new shortcomings. “And I really like this dress,” Natasha retorted. “Well, you have a taste, you probably have no idea what is now fashionable, just look at yourself!” And, in general, what should I talk about with you? “Katya scoffed,

closed the magazine and headed for her desk. And other girls parted.

Situation 4. At the lesson of the language, every sixth-grade student read the essay he wrote about his favorite occupation. All willingly talked about their hobbies. Sasha made a witty story about the adventures in the tourist camp. Olga shared her impressions about the competitions in sports dancing. Andrei impressed everyone with the history of the Western struggle. Meanwhile, all were confident that their occupation was the best. Unanimity reigned when Natasha shared her impressions of her favorite occupation. The girl devoted her time to deducing a new species of cactus. “Is this an occupation? Tosca and only!” the sixth graders whispered disapprovingly, shrugging their shoulders.

Situation 5. Igor has just moved to a big city. He used to live in the village. And although the boy studied well, but all the time he was mocked by his classmates. Most of the hairpins in his address, he received during the lessons of computer science. One day the boy turned to Dima to tell him about the new computer game. “Why do you need this?” Dima asked mockingly: “Svinopasam does not need a computer!”
