Answer 1

Deviance means deviating from social norms and values.

Explanation:

• Social stratification is the ranking of the people of the society based on various factors such as wealth, education, ethnicity, and religion.
• Sometimes, social stratification leads to deviance when people ranked lower don't get their rights.
• For example, when someone from a poor community stoles things because he has no job and money to feed his family.
