Relative deprivation is the term used to describe the gap between what individuals have and what they feel they are entitled to or what they expected. In this case, Jean expected something different than working for minimum wage at a fast food restaurant, and as a result, she experiences relative deprivation. Framing refers to the way in which information is presented, coalescence refers to the coming together of different groups or ideas, and emergence refers to something coming into existence or becoming apparent.
