How does culture influence society?

What is the difference between culture and tradition? Is there a difference between the two? These two words are often used interchangeably, but they each carry different and important meaning. We live in a truly connected world. You can access any culture you like with a swipe of your finger. You can learn about traditions you may never experience firsthand. But without understanding their meanings, you may end up culturally appropriating and offending, even if your intentions are to honor them.
