Q: What is the fear of strangers or foreigners called?   [MAT 2005]

Answer: A

Xenophobia is the fear or hatred of strangers, foreigners, or anything that is perceived as strange or foreign. The term comes from the Greek words "xenos" (foreigner) and "phobos" (fear). Xenophobia can manifest in different ways, such as fear of people from different cultures or countries, fear of immigrants, fear of strangers in general, and fear of anything that is different or unknown. Xenophobia can lead to prejudice, discrimination, and even violence towards people who are perceived as "outsiders."
