The article is devoted to the problem of tolerance in various spheres of social life and especially in international practice it contributes to the solution of many social problems emerged within society. The urgency of the study is to use the most accepted tolerant practices for the manifestation of new cultural communication in international practice, as well as to show how diplomatic measures can prevent world conflicts. The purpose of the paper is to consider and analyse the concept of “tolerance”, its limits of application are established. In today's world, the problem is aggravated in the context of social conflicts, social tension in the international community, and the diplomatic platform in various types of societies. The problem of tolerance covers all spheres of social life of any state: social, political, religious, and personal. The concept of tolerance is an antithesis of antipathy, hatred, and hostile attitude. The article reveals the typology of tolerance in all social spheres of its existence. Along with the notion of “tolerance” in society there is also the concept of “intolerance”. Intolerance has often a hidden position, an implicit one. In particular, tolerance is studied as a universal condition of man existence and the interconnection of people in the space of intercultural relations. The methodological approaches to resolving conflicts by diplomatic methods and sociological-analytical analysis of tolerant practices are revealed. There is no need for Ukraine to resort to tolerance level reduction as this can lead to a negative impact on the international image as a European legal democratic state. It may cause a potential threat to the peaceful coexistence of national and ethnic minorities, as well as to civil society formation and the Ukrainian political nation development.
