Respect and Tolerance (Raintree Perspectives: Exploring British Values)

In our multi-cultural society, respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs is increasingly important. This book helps readers to think about how other people's beliefs are different from their own and to respect those differences, so that they can understand and appreciate the views of other people.
