Question

"Every social differences does not lead to social division". Comment

Answer 1

1. People belonging to different social groups share differences and similarities cutting across the boundaries of their groups. Carlos and Smith were similar in one way (both were African-American) and thus different from Norman who was white. But they were also all similar in other ways- they wereall athletes who stood against racial discrimination.
2. Cross-Cutting social differences are easier to accommodate. For example- Catholics and Protestants had no conflict in Netherland through the people were divided.
3. In Netherland Cast and religion tend to cut-cross each other. Catholics and Protestants are about equally likely to be poor or rich. The result is that Catholics and Protestants have had conflicts.

Suggestion:
1) Principles and power sharing should be followed.
2) Reservation of seats in the legislature, executive and judiciary for the depressed classes.
