Give a comparative study of social difference by overlapping and cross-cutting.

Answer»

The overlapping of social differences creates social divisions and tensions. This sometimes gives rise to social division.

Example: In US the blacks were usually poor, homeless hence were discriminated by the White Americans. Hence this created social division.

In India, the Dalits were treated as Untouchables because they were born lower caste compared to rest. They were poor, had no homes, were not allowed to perform decent work. This created a social division in the society, which deep-rooted and India is still struggling to overcome this division.
