Final answer:
Society and culture have different meanings. Society refers to a group of people sharing a community and culture refers to shared values, beliefs, norms, language, practices, and artifacts. Cultural relativism is practiced by sociologists to assess others using their own cultural standards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Though "society" and "culture" are often used interchangeably, they have different meanings. A society is a group of people sharing a community and culture. The term culture generally describes the shared values, beliefs, norms, language, practices, and artifacts of these people, and includes material and nonmaterial elements. Our experience of cultural difference is influenced by our ethnocentrism (judging others using your cultural standards) and Xenocentrism (belief that another culture is superior). Sociologists practice cultural relativism (assessing others using their own cultural standards) although it is quite difficult.
