David Stewart has presented the article The Human Face of Migration. The World policy journal has presented Fear Thy Neighbor:  Crime and Xenophobia in Europe. Michelle Peterie and David Neil have presented Xenophobia towards asylum seekers: A survey of social theories. Natalia Molina has presented the article, "The Myth of the Unassimilable Mexican." These four articles explore the concept of Xenophobia from different points of view.  Stewart (12) has explored the concept from the viewpoint of the widening scale of the European refugee catastrophe while shedding light on a recent BBC religious editorial on a religious program in the Calais migrant camp. EST, GRAND (12) has represented their work and analysis in the form of a map that illustrates how eight European native countries such as Poland, Italy, Spain, France, Poland, and Germany perceive refugees. Peterie and Neil (23) have provided a well­ crafted argument on how Xenophobia is used towards asylum seekers. They have presented a comprehensive research backed up by previous studies that have been conducted over the years to explore four theories related to xenophobia.  Molina (n.p), has explored the concept from the events that took place in the life of Mexican Americans following the election of President Trump.

The most notable aspect of the four articles is that only one of them has utilized maps and graphs to prove their argument. However, these articles have explicitly claimed that there has been a rise in Xenophobia towards refugees.  On the one hand, Peterie and Niel (24) have focused on examining the connection between four main theories that have resulted from advancement in literature; xenophobia as the new racism, false belief accounts, sociobiological explanations, and xenophobia as an effect of capitalist globalization. On the other hand, Stewart has explored the realities of the challenges refugees face as they move from one continent or country to another. Moreover, his main focus is the refugees in the Calais migrant camp where thousands of refugees from Syria, Libya, and Eritrea have gathered with the hopes of making it to Britain and how the United Kingdom has demonized them in some section of the media and government.  Noteworthy, this is the only article that has not coined the phrase, 'Xenophobia.' Nevertheless, the article has extensively shown that there the travelers in this camp experience a lot of prejudice from the United Kingdom to the extent that following the BBC editorial, citizens of the UK were angry why taxpayers money was being used to broadcast the events taking place in the camp since that was a misuse of the funds. Moreover, David Cameron, the Prime Minister, refused to refer to these refugees as nothing else but "swarms." Drawing conclusions from the Grand EST maps, it has been argued that Europeans fear war refugees. Moreover, based on the data collected from the eight countries, the Grand EST maps has concluded that there is little connection between war refugees, crime, and xenophobia.

Unlike the other three articles, the Grand EST maps World Policy Journal is the only article representing its findings in statistical figures. The article has argued that over 60% of the population in Poland and Italy believe that war refugees are a major threat, while 40%-60% of the population in Spain, France, and the United Kingdom believe the same while only less than 30% of the citizens in Germany, Sweden and the Netherland think that war refugees constitute a major threat.  Also, the article has represented the number of refugees in all the eight countries, the percentage of people who believe that war refugees that flee from Syria and Iraq are a major threat, and the percentage of change in the levels of crime registered national wide from 2013- 2016 in all countries in bar graphs (EST, GRAND, 37).  To easily understand the graphs, interpretations of the represented factors have been offered for each graph.

All articles make a significant contribution in understanding the concept of xenophobia despite that they all make and represent different arguments. Nonetheless, the findings and arguments from the articles complement each other. For instance, Peterie and Niel (23) have argued that in recent times refugees seeking asylum are faced with fear and hostility globally as a result of the level of political and media discourse. This claim aligns with the claim made by Stewart (12) that refugees have previously been demonized in sections of the media and the government. Moreover, the world policy journal has stated that in eight countries, citizens fear refugees with the belief that they pose a threat, and as a result, they express a lot of hostility and prejudice against these refugees.  Also, the findings of Molina (n.p), outline the hostility faced by Mexican Americans in the United States over the years. Another significant factor is the credibility of the information presented in the articles cannot be disputed.

While two journals have focused on xenophobia from a European context, Peterie and Neil (24) have explored xenophobia from a global perspective, thus incorporating countries such as Australia; however, the research has also explored the western world where instances of xenophobia are more prevalent. When exploring the theory of false beliefs, Peterie and Neil (24) have examined research conducted in Australia and concluded that there exists a relationship between false beliefs and prejudice against refugees. Furthermore, compared with the other three research articles, the research by Peterie and Neil (24) is the only research that sought to uncover the source of the factors that bring about xenophobia.  Also, Molina (n.p), examined the issue from the perspective of the United States and the persecution and prejudice faced by Mexican Americans.

In conclusion, the four articles have discussed the issue of xenophobia from different viewpoints. While one of the articles has focused on a global perspective, two articles have focused on a European perspective while one has focused on an American perspective.  All three articles have been highly informative, and the credibility of the research cannot be disputed.
