Tolerance - A Concept in Crisis : Psychoanalytic, Group Analytic, and Socio-Cultural Perspectives
This book examines tolerance as a concept under crisis, exploring its origin and functions, and how it can be at risk of replacement by moral intolerance or retributive justice in turbulent societies. Tolerance - A Concept in Crisis considers the contributions that can be made to understanding and elaborating tolerance, and its counterpart intolerance, by psychoanalysis and group analysis.The contributors, representing a range of countries, backgrounds, and specialisms, consider five key themes: conceptual and emotional challenges, tolerance and psychoanalysis, tolerance and group analysis, tolerance and the socio-political, and tolerance and intolerance in organizations and institutes.The project suggests that tolerance is an outcome of developmental processes (emotional, intrapsychic, intersubjective, and social) to agree and contain disagreement as part of mutual belonging.It also considers how it might be taken too far. The concept of tolerance is examined through its valid contributions to diversity and reduction of discrimination, promoting reflexive scepticism, critical pluralism, and durable forgiveness. Tolerance - A Concept in Crisis will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and group analysts facing issues of conflict and its resolutions, as well as other professionals who are seeking new perspectives on tolerance.

The Social Psychology of Tolerance
This highly topical book is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive theoretical and empirical discussion of the social psychology of tolerance, exploring the importance and drawbacks of a focus on tolerance and discussing how tolerance can be stimulated in a range of contexts. The importance of tolerance for a diverse, equal, and open society is increasingly recognized by social and behavioural scientists.When people are aware of salient differences and disagree about the value of various viewpoints and ways of life, the question of tolerance arises.Not only in relation to religious, cultural, ideological, and viewpoint differences but also concerning everyday things such as annoying habits of one’s partner, the views and behaviour of one’s children, disagreements at work, and neighbourhood hassles.Verkuyten uses concrete examples to discuss the various reasons for why tolerance is vital for peaceful communities, especially in our increasingly diverse and polarized world.Providing a thorough examination of the social psychology of tolerance, this is a valuable text not only to social psychologists but to a range of students and scholars in the social and behavioural sciences more broadly.

Siegel’s The Developing Mind, the window of tolerance refers to each individual’s “window” of emotional activation, inside which they are comfortable and can function optimally.Everyone’s window is unique, and every window has the potential to change—to narrow or widen.Widening one’s window of tolerance for certain emotions can increase the capacity to live more fully and freely within that window, and may be said to be the central work of therapy.Individuals operating within their windows of tolerance can effectively cope with and come to enjoy and appreciate their emotions. With this laminated card, Dr. Siegel’s celebrated concept is made available in a convenient, easily accessible format.With a visual depiction of the window of tolerance on one side of the card and a summary of the key concepts on the other, mental health practitioners will find this product especially useful in exploring the window of tolerance with their clients.

Beyond Tolerance : Child Pornography on the Internet
The first book on the abhorrent business of child pornography Perhaps nothing evokes more universal disgust as child pornography.The world of its makers and users is so abhorrent that it is rarely discussed much less studied.Child pornographers have taken advantage of this and are successfully using the new electronic media to exchange their wares without detection or significant sanction.What are the implications of this threat for free speech and a free exchange of ideas on the internet? And how can we stop this illegal activity, which is so repugnant that even the most laissez-faire cyberlibertarians want it stamped out, if we know nothing about it?Philip Jenkins takes a leap onto the lower tiers of electronic media in this first book on the business of child pornography online.He tells the story of how the advent of the internet caused this deviant subculture to become highly organized and go global.We learn how the trade which operates on clandestine websites from Budapest or Singapore to the U.S. is easy to glimpse yet difficult to eradicate. Jenkins details how the most sophisticated transactions are done through a proxy, a “false flag” address, rendering the host computer, and participants, virtually unidentifiable. And these sites exist for only a few minutes or hours allowing on-line child pornographers to stay one step ahead of the law.This is truly a globalized criminal network which knows no names or boundaries, and thus challenges both international and U.S. law. Beyond Tolerance delves into the myths and realities of child pornography and the complex process to stamp out criminal activity over the web, including the timely debates over trade regulation, users' privacy, and individual rights.This sobering look and a criminal community contains lessons about human behavior and the law that none interested in media and the new technology can afford to ignore.

Isn't tolerance also ignorance?
Tolerance is not necessarily ignorance. Tolerance is the ability to accept and respect different beliefs, opinions, and behaviors, even if one does not agree with them. It is about recognizing and acknowledging the diversity of perspectives and experiences. Ignorance, on the other hand, is the lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular subject. While tolerance does involve accepting differences, it does not mean turning a blind eye to injustice or inequality. It is important to educate oneself and engage in open dialogue in order to truly understand and appreciate the diversity around us.

What is ecological tolerance?
Ecological tolerance refers to the range of environmental conditions within which a species can survive and reproduce. This includes factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrient availability. Species with a wide ecological tolerance can thrive in a variety of conditions, while those with narrow tolerance are more limited in their ability to survive in different environments. Understanding ecological tolerance is important for conservation efforts and managing ecosystems, as it helps to predict how species may respond to environmental changes.

How can the tolerance range of a tolerance curve be determined in ecology?
The tolerance range of a tolerance curve in ecology can be determined by conducting experiments that expose organisms to different levels of a limiting factor, such as temperature, pH, or salinity. By measuring the performance or survival of the organisms at each level of the factor, researchers can identify the upper and lower limits at which the organisms can tolerate the factor. The range between these limits represents the tolerance range of the organisms, providing valuable information about their ecological niche and potential responses to environmental changes.
