Ovelapping Cross-cutting
When some social difference causes and overlaps with other difference. If social differences cross-cut one another, then one social difference is compromised with the other
overlapping differences is the mixture of one or more differences caused by one main difference It means that a group that share a common interest on the issue are likely to be on different sides on a different issue.
Example- racial difference between dark complexion and fairer complexion also refered as the afro-americans in the US becomes a social division because the darker complexion tend to stay unemployed due to their colour and tend to be poor & homeless, and often face injustice & discrimination. Example -Northern Ireland & Netherlands both are predominantly Christians but divided between Catholics & Protestants. In Northern Ireland the Protestants have stayed richer than the Catholics here class & religion overlap each other, Catholics have been poor & have suffered discrimination
