    Xenophobia refers to a dislike or prejudice against people from other countries rather than a fear. It is often associated with racism and can cause people to exclude others based on their nationality. Xenophobia stems from being unfamiliar with other cultures, past negative experiences, historical conflicts between countries, ignorance, prejudice, media influence, racism, religious intolerance, disagreements with other countries' politics or cultures. Xenophobia leads to distrust in society, fewer migrants, and negative economic impacts by depriving the community of talent and resources. To prevent xenophobia, communities should celebrate diversity, condemn hate speech and prejudice, and report attacks.

    What is Xenophobia(Kenny)

    - Xenophobia is a dislike or prejudice towards people from other


    countries. It’s not a fear, it’s a societal/ political problem. Racism often
    gets mixed in with Xenophobia and the two often come hand in hand,
    however, xenophobia usually refers to a persons nationality and culture
    rather than exclusively their race.

    - An example of xenophobia would be a group of people at school,


    excluding someone from activities because of their nationality. They
    are not scared of him; they are prejudiced towards him/her because
    of their nationality.

    Causes of Xenophobia(Eunice)
    - They are unfamiliar with a particular nationality
    - They had a bad experience with one person of a particular nationality or
    heritage and therefore associate bad feelings towards everyone of that
    persuasion
    - Because of something that happened historically between various
    countries – for example: WWII
    - Ignorance or narrow-mindedness (so they don’t like, what they don’t
    know)
    - Prejudice
    - Blindly following what the media says about immigrants (which is
    usually always negative)
    - Racism
    - Intolerance to religions other than their own
    - Not agreeing with the politics of a person’s country of origin
    - Opposition to the cultures of other countries/nationalities

    An effect of Xenophobia(Terence)

    - One of the social impacts of Xenophobia is that it brings an


    atmosphere of hatred and distrust in the society. This can lead to the
    decline in the number of migrants to that particular society. This, in
    turn, has a negative impact on the economy, that will be deprived of
    the influx of talent and resources.
