Xenophobia is the fear of foreigners or aliens. If a country such as ours is viewed as xenophobic, it is looked upon negatively. We react the same way toward countries in which the general population hates Americans. France, for example, has a reputation (deservedly or not) for disliking foreigners, especially Americans. As a result, we sometimes show disdain for the French. One can see this disdain exhibited in pop culture.
There are no advantages to being afraid of other peoples and cultures. The only individuals who would find an advantage in xenophobia are hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, The Nazi Party or the Taliban.

xenophobia (plural xenophobias) # An exaggerated or abnormal fear of strangers or foreigners. # A strong antipathy or aversion to strangers or foreigners. Stopping a psychological 'fear' or 'antipathy' can be accomplished. Wether alone or with a Certified Psychologist the path is not short. One would have to actively seek out 'that which one fears' in order to face it and deal with the rational side of said occurance. One primary step in the treatment of this phobia is to find the root cause. The five questions one would have to answer to oneself are: Who?, What?, When?, Where?and Why? Examples: Who? Who made me feel this? What? What were the circumstances? When? When did I start feeling this way? Where? Where was I when this started? Why? Why did I feel this way?

It's a difficult question to respond to because xenophobia is essentially beneath the surface of 'la quotidienne'. Each country has different xenophobic roots, but generally these views are catalysed by an influx of immigrants.
Many politicians have linked changes in the economy with an increase in prejudices and xenophobia. In simple terms, an expansive industry and economy will draw immigrants to the cities of MEDC's, whereas during times of hardship and declining prosperity, immigrants are often targeted as the cause of these problems, particularly in the case of racial conflict over employment.

(1) Government policies to impose fines or sentences to individuals involved in xenophobic activity has been discussed amongst anti-racism groups. However, it is impractical to assess and convict people of their behaviour as it directly contradicts freedom of expression. (2) Government groups and campaigns are already in place to try and prevent xenophobia and allow easier assimilation.
I only found out that photoaugliaphobia is the fear of glaring lights and photophobia is the normal fear of light. Perhaps the flash light is what causing this people to fear having their photo taken? *shrugs*
