It incorporates real-world examples, case studies, and thought-provoking questions to engage readers and encourage critical thinking about society and human behavior.
The relativity of deviance means that what is considered deviant behavior can vary depending on cultural norms, social context, and historical time periods. It suggests that behaviors labeled as deviant are not inherently wrong or abnormal, but are socially constructed and subject to interpretation. What is seen as deviant in one society may be accepted or even encouraged in another.

Social class divides people according to income, education ,and occupational prestige. Each of us receives ascribed statuses at birth; later we add achieved statuses. Our behaviors and orientations are further influenced by the roles we play, the groups to which we belong, and our experiences with social institutions. These components work together to help maintain social order. - Henslin, 2010, pp 97-102 Sociology a down to earth approach.
