Answer:
(i) If social differences
cross-cut one another, it is difficult to put one group of people against the
other.
(ii) It
means the groups that share a common interest on one issue are likely to be on
different sides on a different issue.
(iii)
In northern Ireland, class and religion overlap with each other. A Catholic is
more likely to be poor and they suffer discrimination.
(iv)
In Netherlands, class and religion tend to cross-cut each other. Catholics and
Protestants are both likely to be poor or rich. The result is that Catholics
and Protestants have had conflicts in Northern Ireland, while they do not do so
in the Netherlands.
So
cross-cutting social differences are easier to accommodate.
