The noun 'tolerance' and adjective 'tolerant' are central to debates about multiculturalism, free speech, and liberal values. In science, 'tolerant' describes organisms that can withstand adverse conditions — 'drought-tolerant crops,' 'heat-tolerant bacteria.' In medicine, 'drug-tolerant' means requiring higher doses for the same effect.

tolerant には社会的な意味と科学的な意味がある。社会的には、多様性に対する寛容さを表す――「a tolerant society(寛容な社会)」「tolerant of different viewpoints(異なる見解に寛容な)」。名詞の「tolerance」と形容詞の「tolerant」は、多文化主義、言論の自由、リベラルな価値観をめぐる議論の中核をなす語である。科学では、悪条件に耐えうる生物を指す――「drought-tolerant crops(耐乾性作物)」「heat-tolerant bacteria(耐熱性細菌)」。医学では、「drug-tolerant」は同じ効果を得るためにより高い用量が必要であることを意味する。
