Difference between overlapping and crosscutting social division


While answering question on overlapping and cross cutting differences with an example ,the following information along with the diagram can be used.



Overlapping



Cross-cutting
When some social difference causes and overlaps with other difference.If social differences cross-cut one another, then one social difference is compromised with the other
overlapping differences is the mixture of one or more differences caused by one main difference It means that a group that share a common interest on the issue are likely to be on different sides on a different issue.
Example- racial difference between dark complexion and fairer complexion also refered as the afro-americans in the US becomes a social division because the darker complexion tend to stay unemployed due to their colour and tend to be poor & homeless, and often face injustice & discrimination.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, Catholics have been poor & have suffered discrimination
