To Analyse the Factors Enhancing Intolerance Among University Students

Abstract

Due to the widespread intolerance and inability to accept opinions varied from one’s own, in recent years we have witnessed a dwindling of flexibility in attitudes and the ability to obey other people’s decisions. In Pakistan, the curse of intolerance and extremism of all kinds whether social, sectarian and religious seems to have taken a firm hold of the society in large and the universities specifically as witnessed by the increasing numbers of targeted killings. The objective of this research was to substantiate the causative agents being intolerance and extremism, and how it is associated with Pakistan’s higher education. The investigation advanced towards focusing upon the areas which may be scrutinized by future researches in identifying the modes of action to be taken by students, teachers, parents, and society as a whole to promote peace, democracy, justice, and social security through good implementations in society.
