Sociology / Unit 3 Soc 0293 short lesson, about 20 seconds
"Culture and Society Are the Same Thing"
Captions available
The idea
Society (Soc 0003) names the population; culture (Soc 0004) names its way of life — the error merges the two.
In practice
Two societies can share a culture, as neighbouring nations often do, and one society can contain many.
Where people slip
The words travel together so often that the distinction between them goes unnoticed.
