　　Intolerance is the art of ignoring any views that differ from your own. It __26__ itself in hatred, stereotypes, prejudice, and __27__. Once it intensifies people, intolerance is nearly impossible to overcome. But why would anyone want to be labeled as intolerance? Why would people want to be __28__ about the world around them? Why would one want to be part of the problem in America, instead of the solution?

And fear stems from ignorance.
