Hate and fear is inevitable in every society. As infants, we often portray some hate toward our parents when we do not have our way. As we grow, we continue to strengthen our hate based on various factor including social class. In her article, “Affective Economies,” the authors wants to address that the economic induces us to hate another. She uses the immigration issue to illustrate division among groups. For instance, a white person believes that immigrants are coming into their country and taking over their jobs, due to this Americans portray hate and fear toward these immigrants. Over time, this hatred progresses to prejudice. With the over growth of foreigners, laws are establish to reduce migrants from entering the country or administering visa in poor countries. She emphasize that we often portray some right to illustrate hate when a group interfere with our safety and security. On the contrary, it is true the unemployment rate in the US is the fault of the immigrants. Many American believe this is sole the immigrant’s faults. However, losing of a job is not the immigrants fault, and why is it believe this problem started solely because of migrants. Many jobs in the US have moved overseas because of cheap labor and in turn, many immigrants flee in hope of making more money in foreign countries, so that they can take care of their family. They author wants to point out that hate comes from within, it come from the frustration of the economy, this comes from the lack of avenue and means. Yet the only way to solve our problems is to blame the outsider. She wants us to openly share our nation and welcome all to its fruitfulness. A nation is build starting with one not me.
