  1. Culture is the way we live and habits we have,  culture is what makes us unique from some one else, Culture comes from where we live our beliefs and religion and ideas.

    Civilisation is the structure that our society lives under, and generalised to all people of the world


  2. Civilization is much more than culture.  Civilization includes culture, plus technology, sciences, economy, transport, communications, weapons, etc.

  3. Culture is the stuff you pass on to your children.  How to behave in society, what sort of things a person like them in their society likes and does, nursery rhymes, songs: anything that a child isn't born knowing how to do.

    Civilization is a lot harder to define.  Time was, it was "what us white folks are doing, what our enemies _aren't_ doing, and what darker people are incapable of doing.  Plus the Egyptians".  No, seriously, that was what it basically boiled down to, even in the anthropological community.  People started realizing that this might not be entirely fair.  Nowadays, it refers to a society's material complexity.  Very early humans had whatever tools they could make out of whatever they found lying around, and we've got computers and dishwashers and things.  We're more materially complex, so we are more civilized than they.  It's not perfect, by any means, and a lot of us are uncomfortable with placing these sorts of value judgements on cultures (don't even get me started on the word "primitive").  Even if it's not a value judgement, "civilization" is still a loaded word, and it seems to leave out the societies that stayed nomadic or partially nomadic and also achieved really complicated cultures (nomads can't carry too much, so they don't get so varied in their material types, usually).

  4. no its not the same thing.

    culture is a step forward for acting like a civilized person but not civilization.as the time is changing after decades their is always manipulation in the culture by social assets.the proper civilization is yet to be achieved in which proper human rights r achieved.

  5. No, culture is a narrowed down from society, which is  narrowed down from civilization.

    A culture is a more specific segment of a society.
