The longer the answer the better, because i'm writing an essay on this topic for my sociology class and I do not know much about what to write...any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
About the question, we're supposed to examine the similarities & differences between the two.

A society's culture pretty much defines how a society interacts, behaves, and lives with each other and the rules that govern them. Some things are written out and others just are unspoken but very much adhered to for the sake of living daily. It is that special thing or those special things that separates them from other cultures.
A society is really just a group of people defined by their geography. But within a society there can be multiple cultures co-existing together but all making it work. Example...The US.

I would say that as society blends and grows, the culture is bred and grows too, into something very distinct. the greek culture is still being studied, admired, etc. the romans may be been one of the first, with the greatest influence through the middle ages. roman society and culture influenced every part of the world of their day. most societies that survived as an entity have the culture of the romans in it somewhere.
all life, and that includes societies and cultures are constantly growing and changing and keeping up to itself. if it stops, it dies.
china went through a stage of opulence and plenty. they became lazy and ended a very long dynasty by not being able to fend off the mongolians. the greeks had city states that seemed to take their turns at conquering each other. their center was very strong indeed, to have influenced us to this day. the romans too. some of the greatest thnkers of the ages came through roman and greek cultures and where they came from and where they might have been going.
its like baking a cake. we are the ingredients, society, and what we produce, the cake, is the culture. even though many wish to think of their culture as standing firm, its not. if prejudice and hatred in any form take control of a culture, it might grow stagnant, even as the chinese, and it will fall.
what is not growing is dying

Aristotle struggled with this after which Spinoza got here alongside and argued that God is best substance. I could cross extra, Everything is guy-made. Including the enemies created via the country state for which hundreds of thousands of deluded infantrymen die needlessly. For instance, whilst the entire American and British infantrymen have died in Afghanistan combating a synthetic enemy referred to as the Taliban, and are available house amid applause and far jingoism, the Taliban will regroup themselves a few of the younger iteration no longer killed and begin the complete method of revolution everywhere once more. Because they're combating guy-made enemies additionally. What does this say of the tombs and memorials boasting of heroism? If God is guy-made, then so is the insanity of meaningless battles.
