Xenophobia


Xenophobia is a fear or contempt towards to everything is foreign or unknown. Mainly to those who come from abroad...
Xenophobia can be based on various aspects, such as racism is based only on the race and stereotypes that people make about the others.
Since a long time, attacks against foreigners had been increased more and more. Many people have so far been killed, while others have been injured.
There are several places where there are a lot of violence towards immigrant people.
The violence in these townships is mainly aimed at foreigners who are either asylum seekers or refugees.
Xenophobia happens all over the world, like in Japan, Dominican Rep, Switzerland and others.
I believe that this is yet another social problem for us to add to our long list. I hope the people of the world can put aside their differences and fears and growing together in peace!
