Question

give an example of crosscutting social difference ?​

Answer 1

Example -Northern Ireland and 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 where as in Netherlands , class & religion tend to cross-cut each other and both are equally likely to be rich or poor.Social discrimination in Netherlands is not overlapped by economic issues both the christian communities have equal number of rich and poor. It means they have conflict in Northern Ireland and it is not so in Netherlands.

Answer 2

CROSS-CUTTING DIFFERENCES: 1.If social differences cross-cut one another,it is difficult to pit one group of people against other. 2. It means that a group that share a common interest on one issue are likely to be on different sides on a different issue.
