Abstract
The modern socio-cultural context influences the understanding of the concept of 'tolerance' because there are two oppositely oriented tendencies. On the one hand, it is an ongoing process of globalization, the need for different countries and different cultures to live in a common world, on the other hand, it is a process of anti-globalization, national self-determination, self-ethnic identification, individualism and consequent intolerance and preparedness of people. Therefore, the problem of tolerance, which affects human relationships, psychological and behavioral aspects, is a very important topic in modern speech.
