Question

Differenc between overlapping and cross cutting social division.( Civics chapter -3)

Answer 1

HEY MATE,

Overlapping differences :

        These social divisions take place when some social differences overlap with many other differences.

•       The difference between the Blacks and Whites becomes a social division in the United States because historically, most of the Blacks are poor, homeless and discriminated against.

•          In India, the Dalits tend to be poor and landless. They often face discrimination and injustice.

•          These kinds of situations produce social divisions which are harmful for democracy, and weaken the basic foundation of democracy.

•         When one kind of social difference becomes more important than any other, and people start feeling that, they belong to different communities then this can lead to the disintegration of the country.

Cross-cutting differences :

•        Under cross-cutting differences, people share common interests on one issue but are likely to be on different side on another issue.

•           Cross-cutting social differences are easier to accommodate.

•            Netherlands and Northern Ireland are Christian countries divided into Catholics and Protestants.

•             In Netherlands, class and religion tend to cut across each other. This means Catholics and the Protestants are about equally likely to be poor or rich.

•            In Northern Ireland, class and religion overlap with each other, i.e., if one is Catholic, he is also more likely to be poor.
