Chris Rieger 5 th Hour English 1/29/09 Intolerance Intolerance is a big word, trust me I know! But intolerance can be a very bad thing in the world. __T ____here were a lot of things in the world like when the Nazi parties killed the Jews just because of their race and their religion. __ Or when the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) would kill African Americans because of their race and were intolerant with them because they didn’t like what they looked like. The Americans were very intolerant with the Japanese for attacking Pearl Harbor and took care of all the Japanese for doing that. __Hitler and the Nazi Party was very intolerant with the Jewish because of how they thought and what they looked like or played their lives out as. __ Hitler killed the Jewish because he didn’t think that Jewish shouldn’t live in Germany because he didn’t like their religion. Hitler thought that the Jewish didn’t have a right to live and said that the Jewish are just life unworthy of living, or in other words their life is basically worthless in Hitler’s eyes. The Nazis basically killed because they were intolerant with the Jews and thought that they were the only kind of human worth living. The Nazis ended up killing like six million jews for no other reasons but because they didn’t think that they weren’t worthy of life. The Nazis didn’t just kill the Jews either, they killed the disable and religious minorities. Hitler was just so intolerant with them and some people still can’t say why other than the fact that he just didn’t like them and the way that they thought and felt about life.

__Another way that someone or some people were intolerant was when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. __ The Americans were very intolerant with the Japanese that they even took out their anger with the Japanese that had nothing to do with the attack. The Americans were just so intolerant that they didn’t want to take any chances with terrorists that they kept the Japanese that lived in America in camps and away from where they could cause any danger to anyone in the United States and any more that they already did. __A very big intolerance was when there was a gang or klan that was absolutely awful and still discusses people to this day and why they would do what they did. __The klan was the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) and they went around killing African Americans, Jews, and many other races just because of they looked like they did. The KKK was intolerant with them and they had reasons to be intolerant but they didn’t have any right to kill people and mess with their lives because they looked different. Intolerance is a strong word and can be used in different ways. Intolerance is meant in a way that can be very strong and not so strong like with parents or with the Nazis.
