Xenophobia

Xenophobia is the fear or dislike of people from other countries or cultures. It often leads to prejudice, discrimination, and hostility toward those perceived as outsiders. This attitude can manifest in various forms, such as social exclusion, negative stereotypes, or violence. Xenophobia may arise from cultural differences, economic competition, or nationalistic beliefs. It can have serious consequences for social cohesion, leading to tensions or conflicts between groups. Combating xenophobia involves promoting understanding, empathy, and respect for diversity, helping to create a more inclusive society.
