Lithuania and Tolerance

One of my classes is situated in the Social Ministry where I teach one guy on a one-to-one basis. My job involves the discussion of the social problems Lithuania faces as a part of the 'new Europe.' One of the major problems that Lithuania faces is the growing intolerant attitudes towards minorities in the conutry. According to a report, , anti-semitism, racism and homophobia has increased since Lithuania joined the EU in 2004. The report compared people's attitudes towards minorities in the early 1990s when the Soviet Union collapsed. It also cays that this could jeopardise Lithuania's place in the European Union.
