Lead in
Do you know any scientific definition of the ―unreasonable fear of foreigners or strangers‖? Skim the following text about xenophobia.

Can you give any examples you have ever heard, seen, experienced?
Reading and vocabulary
Read the text for general understanding .
Pay attention to the words in bold?
What is Xenophobia?
Xenophobia refers to the fear and/or hatred towards foreigners or people with different nationalities, culture, ethnicity, or background. Many people also use the term ―xenophobia‖ and casually inter-change it with ―racism‖ although there is quite a big difference between the two terms. Racism may almost always mean some form of anger or hatred towards people of different nationalities, while xenophobia may or may not involve hatred. Sometimes, xenophobia may just manifest itself as a feeling of fear or unease and anxiety towards ―foreign‖ or ―strange‖ people.
The fear involved in xenophobia may come from different aspects. Some people experience ill-feelings toward other cultures and nationalities because of a fear in losing one’s identity. Some also are extremely suspicious of other people’s activities and personalities that they resort to either “withdrawal” from the unpleasant situation or ―aggression‖ towards the foreign people involved. Others have this extremist type of feeling that his/her culture or background is superior over the others with accompanying prejudice to other groups of people as inferior.
To further distance the word ―xenophobia‖ from ―racism‖, many experts point out that the fear involved in xenophobia is irrational. This means that people who have this condition do not actually have control over their emotions and prejudices on people and situations. Unlike in racism, where much of the thoughts and actions involved are pre-determined, purposeful, and done at a person’s own free will. Another point is that xenophobia does not only involve feelings of fears towards foreigners or people with different nationalities. Fear may also be experienced with people who seem to be ―foreign‖ or who are labeled as strangers. And since these feelings are uncontrollable, xenophobic have a
chance to get better through behavioral and psychotherapies.

Read and discuss
1. Read and translate the text about forms of Xenophobia. Try to give your own definition to the word. Have ever experienced xenophobia yourself? Anywhere for anyone? Do agree that Xenophobia can also be directed simply to anyone outside a culture, not necessarily one particular race or people? How do you think Xenophobia may be expressed? Skim the text about two main forms of Xenophobia and say what is the main difference of these two forms?
Two forms of Xenophobia
The first is a population group present within a society that is not considered part of that society. Often they are recent immigrants, but xenophobia may be directed against a group which has been present for centuries, or became part of this society through conquest and territorial expansion. This form of xenophobia can elicit or facilitate hostile and violent reactions, such as mass expulsion of immigrants, pogroms or in other cases, genocide. The second form of xenophobia is primarily cultural, and the objects of the phobia are cultural elements which are considered alien.
Chauvinism, in its original and primary meaning, is an exaggerated, bellicose patriotism and a belief in national superiority and glory. A contemporary use of the term in English is in the phrase male chauvinism. Because "chauvinism" is most often heard in this context, it is often mistakenly believed to refer exclusively to "male chauvinism" such as anti-feminism and sexism.
Chauvinism as nationalism
Chauvinism is an almost natural product of the national concept in so far as it springs directly from the old idea of the "national mission." ... A nation's mission might be interpreted precisely as bringing its light to other, less fortunate peoples that, for whatever reason, have miraculously been left by history without a national mission. As long as this concept did not develop into the ideology of chauvinism and remained in the rather vague realm of national or even nationalistic pride, it frequently resulted in a high sense of responsibility for the welfare of backward people.
1.3Chose the most appropriate word for the sentences below:
A.Xenophobia comes from the Greek word meaning..
a)strength and health; b) stranger and fear; c) faith and belief.
B.Xenophobia can be exhibited in the form of culture where culture is….
a)a part of national life; b) real and routine quality; c) unreal, stereotyped, exotic quality.
C.Chauvinism is an almost natural product of the concept of the idea of
a)―national mission‖; b) national idea; c) national identity.
D.Male chauvinism is a term used to describe …
a)the belief that women are superior to men; b) the belief that men are superior to women; c) the belief that white men are superior to all men on Earth.
E.Female chauvinism is a term used to describe …
a) attitude that women are superior to men; b) attitude that white women are superior to all men; c) attitude that men are superior to women.
b)are superior to all men; c) attitude that men are superior to women.
2.Using the dictionary and the Internet find the definition for discrimination. Are there any general or specific forms? What are the specific forms of discrimination? What is your personal attitude towards different forms of it? Have ever been a victim of discrimination? Are there any ways to fight against it?
3.Prove your feelings writing six sentences expressing your attitude towards: Xenophobia, Racisms, Discrimination, Genocide, Chauvinism, Prejudice
1)_________________________________________________________
2)_________________________________________________________
3)_________________________________________________________
4)._________________________________________________________
