what is cross cutting differences?

Cross-cutting social differences: If social differences cross-cut one another, it is difficult to compete one group of people against the other. It means the groups that show a common interest on one issue are slightly to be on different sides on a different issue. Hence, leading to a social division. For example: Northern Ireland and Netherlands are dominantly Christian countries but divided between Catholics and Protestants. In Northern Ireland's, class and religion overlap each other.
