    Explain the differences between overlapping and cross-cutting differences, citing one example of each.               (5)  

    Answer:

    The differences are explained below
    Overlapping differences Cross-cutting differences
    These take place when some social differences overlap with many other differences. These happen when people share a common interest on one issue but are likely to be on different sides on another issue.
    These create possibilities of deep social divisions and tensions. These are easier to accommodate.
    When one kind of social difference becomes more important than any other, people start feeling that they belong to different communities. This does not occur here.
    An example is Northern lreland, where the Catholics are poor and have suffered discrimination in the past. An example is the Netherlands, where the Catholics and the Protestants are equally likely to be poor or rich.
