Consequences Of Xenophobia

Different cultures – different cultures are a target of racism which is a bad impact of crime. Someone being targeted for something they can’t change such as their ethnical background or the colour of their skin can make people feel hopeless and scared that the crime will occur wherever they go.

The reason why Smith questioned the credibility of Xenophobia was because of the way the classmates of Rodrigo reacted to him getting deported. Rodrigo’s classmates sent their friend a video, a valentine, and even had their parents help them write their congressmen as well as speak to the media in order to help get their friend back. Smith stated, “If xenophobia has such a deep evolutionary and psychological roots, what explains Ms. Wagner’s fourth-grade class, which rallied to support their friend Rodrigo after he was sent back to Mexico?” (Smith,754).

The convergence of racial unity and inroads towards the non-classification of race has been compromised by the accumulation of rights, privileges, and perceptions of the “whites”, and the life experiences, inequalities and societal impediments of the ‘non-white”. These experiences represent an overarching inability to forge ahead without cognizant realizations of past injustices and reparation for past aggressions. Noting the attempts at racial reunification in South Africa and the redress of exclusionary policies existing within the

Xenophobia marches across the planet Despite the xenophobic and racist beliefs to be completely irrational primarily because God created human as imago Dei, which means that we are all His children, at the certain periods of the history of humanity and in some circumstances these beliefs may seem logical from people’s subjective point of view (Rydgren, 2004). It may happen because of the lack of information or due to the cognitive limitations that make people massively follow a charismatic leader and adhere to the suggested ideology. Unfortunately, xenophobia always causes a tragedy whether it is concentration camps described by Elie Wiesel in “Night,” or racial segregation drafted by Langston Hughes in “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain”

Racial prejudice and nativism are still social issues that define our present reality and affect us all. Everyday, immigrants in America find themselves victims of hate crimes like genocide because of their race and ethnicity (Wong 2). Genocide, “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group,” shows itself in racial crimes

As spoken in class, immigration is a serious issue that is still being fought over today. After watching the short video on Diane Guerrero and her incident with her parents getting deported, I was shocked when I heard that she was left alone after her parents were taken away. It is sad to hear such tragedy when there is children involve. When Diane’s parents were deported, she was only fourteen, she was still too young to live on her own, since she was young, she had to depend on strangers, neighbors, and friends for everything. At that age no child should be left alone, a social worker should have came into the home to search for any family members that were left behind. If she did not have her friends and neighbors helping her out, she would have ended up in the streets, when they kick her out for not paying rent.

People who are have the intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries are xenophobic. It could make it harder for these people to work with

Xenophobia came from the Greek word "xenos" which means a foreigner. According to Healthtopia, "Xenophobia is the condition where the person feels threatened and terror when confronted by a person with a different background." The movie Powder and You Re Not Alone are example of why we are afraid of strangers. Not all strangers are bad people. Some strangers you have to look out for and others could be really good people.

Xenophobia is the fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign. Xenophobia is happening all over the world, thus here in the US. Many Americans are in fear that these Immigrants are here to take their jobs away. This fear affects everyone because citizens start to feel unsafe. President Donald Trump has talk about his views on Immigration. Trump has propose building a wall across the Mexican border, extra TSA stops, and increased border control. Also, he has ban certain countries from entering the US. He has done all this for the safety of the country.

A social issue that I would like to bring attention is the xenophobia against the law-abiding immigrants, documented and undocumented, in the United States. With the recent stigma against immigrants and immigration by our government, I believe that immigrants are under attack. They are also perceived badly due to the one-sided media representation based off the wrongdoings by those who are not law-abiding.

Immigrants are not protected under the constitution but there are some in the bill of rights. That lady said what Trump was doing was unconstitutional and that's why she wouldn't defend. When in fact that that is not true. She acted on her opinion and her own emotions. You can not have someone like that in the presidential staff. She chose not to do her job therefore she chose the consequences. If I chose not to do my job I would be fired as well. It's the way it is. And if what Trump is doing is "unconstitutional " then what all other presidents did was also "unconstitutional ". Presidents can use any action of threats ...past ,

The effect of colonization is one where states facilitate the development of ‘race’ through categorization, with the act of racism then following as a consequence; as demonstrated in the various examples mentioned. This point, alongside the notion that states have the capability of using psychological, political and social powers to create racial ‘norms’, indicate that there is a negative relationship present; where the ‘losers’ will continue to be the dominated race. However, it must be considered that the breakthroughs accomplished by the theoretical perspectives mentioned above has led to the issue of racism becoming an objective that states aim to address; meaning that there is a potential for the relationship to become more equalised in the

South Africa has a history of legal segregation (Apartheid) which stems from prejudice, discrimination and anxiety with regards to intergroup contact. However, after 1994, when South Africa was declared a democracy, segregation was declared illegal and the society became racially mixed. Nevertheless, segregation still seems to be a contemporary phenomenon, though not legally enforced. In this essay I will explore Contact Theory as a way of reducing prejudice and intergroup anxiety; I will also discuss segregation and desegregation within the context of South Africa and our history and comment on whether inter-racial co-existence can be considered as the successful desegregation of South Africa. Lastly, I will also look at contact as a viable solution to segregation that is still taking place within our society.

There are many factors that need to be observed to determine what causes people to experience xenophobia. Xenophobia is defined as a condition where people suffer irrational fear of strangers or foreigners. The symptoms of people that suffered from this condition are very real and can range from feeling nauseated or excessive sweating to dry mouth, heart palpitations, a fear of dying, and anxiety attacks. Nevertheless, what exactly causes people to experience from Xenophobia?

Many of the contemporary issues in South Africa can easily be associated with the apartheid laws which devastated the country. The people of South Africa struggle day by day to reverse “the most cruel, yet well-crafted,” horrific tactic “of social engineering.” The concept behind apartheid emerged in 1948 when the nationalist party took over government, and the all-white government enforced “racial segregation under a system of legislation” . The central issues stem from 50 years of apartheid include poverty, income inequality, land ownership rates and many other long term affects that still plague the brunt of the South African population while the small white minority still enjoy much of the wealth, most of the land and opportunities
