¤Overlapping Differences.
•If social differences overlap with each other, it may lead to social division and if one social difference is given preference ,then people would began to think that they belong to different community.
•Example -:
USA : The black are discriminated against by the Whites due to their poverty( racial discrimination ) .
India : Dalits are discriminated against as they are landless and poor.
•It leads to social division and disintegration of the country.
¤Cross Cutting Differences.
•If social differences cross cut each other we would find it difficult to find which group is against the other. These groups may have similar views on some issues and different views on other issues.
•Example -:
The Netherlands : The main religion here is Christianity. Christians are divided as the Catholics and the protestants. Here, class and religion cross -cut each other. Neither religious community is richer or poore. So, there is no conflict between them.
•It encourages diversity and accommodates unity.
