Answer:
B. Fanaticism
Read Explanation:
Forster says, “Tolerance is a very dull virtue. It is boring. Unlike love, it has always had a bad press. It is negative. It merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things….”
But, ‘Tolerance’ is the virtue we need today. That is the right attitude needed to rebuild the post-war world. As races and people, there are so many things we do not like in each other. We have to put up with these. We have to tolerate it.
Democracy, Forster argues, relies on tolerance to function.
A tolerant society allows for the peaceful exchange of ideas and protects individual freedoms, even when people disagree.
