How does intolerance arise, according to the characteristics listed?

Intolerance often arises from ignorance and indifference because individuals who lack knowledge about different cultures, beliefs, and practices are more likely to hold prejudiced views or misunderstandings about others. When people are not exposed to diverse perspectives or are indifferent to the experiences of those who differ from them, it fosters an environment where stereotypes and misconceptions proliferate. This lack of understanding can manifest as bias or hostility towards those who are perceived as "other," leading to discriminatory attitudes and actions.

In contrast, having a full understanding of different cultures would typically foster empathy and respect for diversity, effectively reducing intolerance. Limited emotional experiences can contribute to a narrow worldview but do not directly lead to intolerance; rather, they might simply limit one’s ability to connect with others. An excess of information can sometimes lead to confusion rather than intolerance, as it might overwhelm individuals who then struggle to discern credible sources or relevant facts, further complicating their understanding of different cultures.
