Answer to Question 1

Most people engage in primary deviance or violations of cultural norms. Few are caught, or more importantly, labeled by those with the power or authority to do so as deviants. Once labeled as deviant, however, they tend to commit additional acts so as to fulfill the negative definition that society has attached to them. These acts, the result of being labeled, are termed secondary deviance.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
