Detailed Solution

The government is pretty much helpless in the matter of political outcomes. These statements do not rightly explain political outcomes of social divisions.
On the surface, social divisions appear to be a dangerous mix with politics. They seem to be inherently opposed to democratic values. Instances of social differences leading to political uprisings are widespread in political history. However, the volatility of social differences is not beyond prevention. Social differences become a problem at the root level when people believe these are rigid and exclusive identities. Much of the conflict can be avoided if people understand that their social groups are flexible and their interests are spread across several groups. If people become aware of their larger social groups, they can avoid disputes over small differences. Also, political leaders have a responsibility for the outcomes. They should be able to see the bigger picture and make demands for communities while keeping the welfare of other communities in mind.A precautionary tale comes from Sri Lanka, where the needs of the Sinhala community disregarded the existence of Tamil communities. Similarly, the political outcomes of social divisions arise from how the government makes decisions. The government should be careful in choosing when to force the integration of minorities and when harmonious integration is possible.
