ABSTRACT
The distinction now generally drawn in social anthropology between the connected concepts of ‘society’ and ‘culture’ was most clearly articulated by Firth:
If…society is taken to be an organized set of individuals with a given way of life, culture is that way of life. If society is taken to be an aggregate of social relations, then culture is the content of those relations. Society emphasizes the human component, the aggregate of people and the relations between them….
