Though often confused, the meaning of the words "culture" and "sosiety" are a little different. Sosiety results from the organized interaction among people living in a geographical or political region. Culture is the shared way of life of a particular group of people. The values, beliefs, behaviors, and physical objects that a group shared, make up its culture.
Culture has two distinct aspects: spiritual and material. The spiritual aspect includes values, ideas, and beliefs. These could be anything from Capitalism to Confucianism. The material aspect, meanwhile, includes tangible things from pyramids to lawn mowers.
For millennia, human culture have adapted to their environments in unique and astonishing ways. Some culture choose to evolve at the pace of their environment. This may be so that they can conserve resources. Cultures that choose rapid change also choose unlimited use of resources. Each culture must eventually make one of these two choices. The result is two groups of cultures with opposing lifestyles.
One result of this conflict is "culture gap" or "culture shock". Imagine modern city people straned in a nature-based culture. They might need to learn to accept nudity or to eat uncooked foods. Now imagine traditional people stranded in a modern urban culture. They might also feel helpless without their usual supportive matrix of people, plants, and animals.
