Cross-cutting concerns are functions of a program which affect other functions. Since they cannot be completely modularized in both the design and implementation, the resulting code will either be scattered throughout different modules that generate necessary data or tied to specific modules that perform dependent operations. Logging changes to the a database is an example of a cross-cutting concern since it involves checking and updating multiple tables.
