Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The three most important factors contributing to xenophobic violence are political leadership, lack of conflict resolution processes, and very few prosecutions

Manifestations of xenophobia include acts of direct discrimination, hostility or violence and incitement to hatred. Xenophobic acts are intentional as the goal is to humiliate, denigrate and/or hurt the person(s) and the “associated” group of people.

Xenophobia, or fear of strangers, is a broad term that may be applied to any fear of someone who is different from us. Hostility towards outsiders is often a reaction to fear. 1 It typically involves the belief that there is a conflict between an individual's ingroup and an outgroup.
