Culture it is the study of human beings living in
societies & following distinctive ways of the life
labelled.
Anthropology and Sociology are both sciences concern themselves
with human societies.
The Anthropologist investigates not only their forms of social
organization and social relationships, which are of primary
interest to sociologist, but also their economics, religion,
government, language, legends, and customs, as well as the
personalities of their inhabitants.
The Sociologist does not study their economy, as such, nor their
religion, nor their government, nor their language and literature
and science, but rather the social organizations, the social
structure, and the social matrix within which these various
phenomena appear.
