Answer:

The power to define others as deviant and to resist having the label applied to oneself is linked to social position.

Explanation:

  • In any given community in the world, there are hierarchies based on either of superiority by birth, by status, by post, by religion, by age, or multiple of these at once.
  • When a person holds a strong social position, he enjoys the privilege of targeting others for several reasons while keeping himself protected from getting targeted from anybody owing to the position that he holds in the society.
