Please define what is meant by "Cognitive paradigm" and "Behavioral paradigm". I don't know if I support either viewpoint, because I don't understand what they are.
Regarding "reification", I don't understand the point that was being made. We have to give xenophobia a name, even though it is an abstraction, because we cannot have a discussion without a name for it. I don't see a problem with that. But I don't think that was the point...
