consists of the BELIEFS,
BEHAVIORS, OBJECTS, and
other CHARACTERISTICS
COMMON to the members
of a particular group or
society. Through culture,
people and groups define
themselves, conform to
society's shared values, and
contribute to society.
Thus, culture includes
many societal aspects:
language,
customs, values,
norms, mores,
rules, tools,
technologies,
products,
organizations,
and institutions.
 S O C I E T Y
▪ Sociologists define society as the people who interact in such a
way as to share a common culture.

▪ The cultural bond may be ethnic or racial, based on gender,

or due to shared beliefs, values, and activities.

▪ The term society can also have a geographic meaning and refer
to people who share a common culture in a particular location.
CULTURE & SOCIETY
▪ Culture and society are intricately
related. A culture consists of the
“objects” of a society, whereas a society
consists of the people who share a
common culture.
▪ When the terms culture and society first
acquired their current meanings, most
people in the world worked and lived in
small groups in the same locale.
Culture is also
essential to society,
because without
culture, society will be
dull and will not
continue to thrive. A
society without
culture is like a body
without a soul and
vice versa. Culture and
Society needs each
other so they can both
develop and prosper.
