Answer:
Social
divisions of one kind or the other exist in most parts of the world. A social
difference means the difference in a group of people due to their race, religion,
language or culture. It becomes a social division when some social differences
are joined by another set of social differences, e.g., the difference in the
Blacks and the Whites in America is due to their different race which is a
social difference. It becomes a social division when, say, the income factor is
also added in that. The Blacks tend to be poor and homeless while the Whites
tend to be rich and educated. This creates a divide in the people, making them
feel that they belong to different communities.
In our country Dalits tend to be poor and landless.
They often face
discrimination and injustice, Situations of this kind produce social division.
Cross-cutting differences happen when one type of social difference
is weakened by another set of social differences.
Then, it becomes difficult to group people into a single category
because they are going to have different opinions and views on different
matters. On some matters there might be agreement on a particular issue, but
there might be disagreement on another issue.
