netmouse asked me a long, long time ago to delineate the difference between society and culture.

Society is what exists presently in human aggregations (towns, cities, etc.).

Culture is what is passed down from generation to generation.

These obviously intermingle, but they are not the same. Society is not passed down (though the idea of society is).

This is a slim definition, but it serves.
