XENOPHOBIA ASPECT - FACING YOUR FEARS

I earlier wrote an article titled 'facing your fears' the topic gave birth to the xenophobia aspect.

Wikipedia referred Xenophobia as an untrained fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. The host (country) citizens are afraid of losing identity in their homelands, suspicious of the activities of the Blacks, are aggressive and there's the desire to eliminate its presence 'strange people' in order to secure a presumed purity. Xenophobic countries / societies tend not to be open to interactions from anything "outside" themselves resulting in isolationism which further increases xenophobia.

Xenophobia is as a result of psychiatric issues, ain't just a normal case, but an intense case that needs desperate measures to be taken. According to my research one of its causes is a physical, emotional, economical experience with a particular group then overgenerated (dehumanization ).
