Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that Ivan Ilyich tried his best to escape fr

om the reality of his troubled family life?
Praskovya Fedorovna blamed her husband for every inconvenience they encountered in their new home. Most of the conversations between husband and wife, especially as to the children's education, led to topics which recalled former disputes, and these disputes were apt to flare up again at any moment. There remained only those rare periods of amorousness which still came to them at times but did not last long. These were islets at which they anchored for a while and then again set out upon that ocean of veiled hostility which showed itself in their aloofness from one another. This aloofness might have grieved Ivan Ilyich had he considered that it ought not to exist, but he now regarded the position as normal, and even made it the goal at which he aimed in family life. His aim was to free himself more and more from those unpleasantness and to give them a semblance of harmlessness and propriety. He attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders. The chief thing however was that he had his official duties. The whole interest of his life now centered in the official world and that interest absorbed him. The consciousness of his power, being able to ruin anybody he wished to ruin, the importance, even the external dignity of his entry into court, or meetings with his subordinates, his success with superiors and inferiors, and above all his masterly handling of cases, of which he was conscious—all this gave him pleasure and filled his life, together with chats with his colleagues, dinners, and bridge. So that on the whole Ivan Ilyich's life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly.

Explain Why Tolerance in A workplace is crucial (Essay) word limit 300:
Stels [109]

Answer:

Tolerance in the workplace is crucial for everything to function properly.

Explanation:

The first thing is to be clear that we are all different and that there will be ways of acting with which we can agree and others with which we cannot. Tolerance does not mean agreeing with everyone or everything, in work teams, it does not even mean reluctantly accepting what does not seem right to us.

Tolerance as part of teamwork implies respecting and trying to reach agreements being as objective as possible in terms of team objectives.  

And it is that human beings are naturally diverse, but this does not mean that we are incapable of listening and communicating, with the clear objective of entering into agreements without ceasing to be who we are. It is a reality that in any company different people converge, owners of traits and qualities that distinguish them, but that within the organization they need to establish harmonious links to form successful work teams.

But, on the contrary,when being tolerant, the other is listened to, they are respected, it does not mean fully sharing their way of seeing, thinking or acting, not even that we have to like the person or that we have to spend time with them, but simply that we allow it to be, see, think, feel or act in its own way.  

Although this can be very enriching for a company, it also implies the coexistence between different points of view; The fact that these differences exist is not the negative, what clouds the work environment is the fact of thinking that only one point of view is valid or that that of another member of the work team contributes less than the rest.

A tolerant work environment can lead to more fluid, honest, and open communication. This implies greater cooperation, loyalty, and of course greater productivity.
