Anthropologists commonly use the term
culture to refer to a society or group in which many or all people live and think in
the same ways. Likewise, any group of people who share a common culture and in
particular, common rules of behavior and a basic form of social organization that
constitutes a society. Thus, the terms culture and society are somewhat
interchangeable. However, while many animals live in societies, such as herds of
elk or packs of wild dogs, only humans have culture. (Passage adapted from
Bodley, 2001)
