Question

How does overlapping social differences lead to social division why is it easier to accommodate cross cutting differences than difference?

Answer 1

overlapping social differences can count the civil war that we have seen in the Netherlands that the catholics and protestants catholics were poor and protestants were richthe relationship between rich and poor is always bad so overlapping social difference cannot be easy to accommodate in the society compared to the cross cutting differences cross cutting differences is a difference in which the two groups unite at one issue but opposite to on another issue example in Ireland protestants and catholics where equally rich and poor so they are cross cutting differences
