The culture of a society is almost the same thing as its norms. What is the difference between culture and norms?

Culture is a learned behavior. Beliefs, norms, values are the elements of culture. Norms are the standards by which specific human activity is either approved and condemned. Based upon the punishment we receive norms can be classified as folkways,mores and laws .

It's almost the same thing, and each of them are made up of each other, but the difference is that culture has traditions and the identity of that group or ethnicity. A culture has its own norms, but overall, everyone and society shares certain common norms.

Today culture has become a tourist attraction. Many cultural events have been modified and sensationalized to attract tourists.
Go to Thailand and you will see a number of Thai-dances for tourist that even the Thai people don't know if.
These new tourist cultural attractions create a sub-culture (which is how the outside world sees them). This sub-culture is not the norm.

Culture is practiced by a limited number of people.
For example, Japanese women tend to be more submissive than American women.
Norms are practiced by everyone.
For example, people bathe and wear clean clothes when they go out on a date.
