OVERLAPPING DIFFERENCES:

1. When some social difference overlaps other difference it is called overlapping social difference.

2. Overlapping differences is the mixture of one or more differences caused by one main difference.Situations of this kind produce social divisions, when one kind of social difference becomes more important than the other and people start feeling that they belong to different communities.(example)racial or linguistic differences may lead to economic differences.They also become difficult to accommodate.
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.

3. 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
