What do you understand from the fact that society is made up of social levels of reality?

Sociologically, the notion that society is made up of different levels of reality is a misconception. There is, in point of fact, only one reality. What is really meant by this is that reality can be understood from different perspectives based on an individual's experiences and their societal history (what Mills called the sociological imagination).
One may also look at it in a sort of Kantian way. There is reality. It is there and there is nothing that we can do about it. But our senses are able to pick up only a small amount of all of the stimuli that make up that reality. This limits what we can know. Additionally, we have to interpret what our senses pick up. This further removes us from the true nature of what is real. Our interpretations could in fact be incorrect.
That is why science is important. Science is a tool that helps us correctly interpret the reality of the world. But in order for science to work, there can, in fact, be only one reality.
I hope that was not too philosophical, and I hope it was helpful.
