What is nativism and xenophobia and how are they being expressed in today's society?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response: Nativism is an anti-immigrant ideology that advocates the protection of "native" inhabitants from new or potential immigrants who they view as threatening or dangerous. Xenophobia is the fear or prejudice against people from other nations.
Today nativism and xenophobia are expressed through the hatred of immigrants, especially Hispanic immigrants, who are seen as taking jobs from "Native" Americans. Political cartoons, articles and editorials are written about how Hispanics are taking over America. They are seen as trying to change it into a new Hispanic nation by forcing everyone to speak Spanish. Americans also express fear and prejudice about Muslims and people of Middle Eastern descent. The media has reinforced the idea that they are to be feared and they want to kill innocent people.
