Society and Culture

To understand how a colonial society or culture would evolve we first need to understand what each one is.

Culture refers to the set of beliefs, practices, learned behavior and moral values that are passed on, from one generation to another while society means an interdependent group of people who live together in a particular region and are associated with one another.[1]

Culture can also include many societal grouping aspects such as language, customs, rules, organizations, and institutions. Culture unites the social framework through influence while society shapes the social framework through pressure. Culture represents the rules that guide the way people live while society is the structure that provides the way people organize themselves.
