What is the difference between social difference and cross cutting? |
||
| Answer» | Overlapping social difference | Cross-cutting social difference | \tThe social differences overlap other social differences.Social differences cut one another.One social difference is reinforced by another social difference.One social difference is not reinforced by another social difference.It may result in deep social divisions, disintegration and conflicts.It promotes unity, encourages diversity and is easier to accommodate.The groups or social divisions do not share a common interest on any issue.The groups may share a common interest on an issue even being on different sides on another issue.Example: the racial difference between dark people and white people becomes a social division in the US as people with dark complexion usually stay unemployed, poor and homeless due to their skin colour.Example: Northern Ireland & Netherlands both are mainly Christians but divided between Catholics and Protestants.\t|
