Humans are social creatures, they will mutually require and interaction one of person and the other in their neighborhood. Mean human can not live alone in the world. According to observation that the term culture rightly applies also to the ordering of social relationships between human beings. And definitely, there are definable sub-groups in social relations. Social Culture is related to the Cognitive Culture in the head of each individual. There is a Social Culture, but it is not just external.
Each social group has an idea of proper social relations between members and of the "reality" these represent. But these ideas vary for instance, the concept of the individual and the society. Which is primary? It depends on the culture.
In most African cultures, for instance, society exists, thus the individual exists but in the West, individuals exist, thus society is created.
We may have heard of the concept of the "Social Contract." This is a Western concept, not African. Yet even in Western concepts, there is a sense in which society exists as an entity apart from the individuals involved.
The internal or individual cultural frame of reference is called the Cognitive Culture. This is the individualist cultural understanding, self-concept, concept of relationships, roles and procedures. The external or Social Culture is created by relationships of the component individuals in their social interaction. How stable, rigid or flexible this social system is depends on many complicated factors.
