Summary/Abstract: Based on the definition of the concept of tolerance as the ability to endure something unpleasant and disagreeable, detrimental or unbearable, stands the fundamental thesis that tolerance contradicts human rights. The neuropsychophysical research of the human brain has shown that a state of tension occurs as a physiological defensive reaction of the human brain to the difference of another person. Tolerance, therefore, does not bring about integration among people, but a state of tolerability. Thus arises the question how to prevent situations of conflict and lead individuals and peoples towards cooperation and mutual respect of differences, Through the education of children it is necessary to develop the ability of managing one's own brain so it could understand and accept, instead of merely tolerate other people's opinions and behavior.
