European society

Western cultural community

European society refers to the collective social structures, cultural norms, and ways of life characteristic of Europe and its peoples.

The term often appears in discussions of shared values, historical development, or continental identity: European society has grappled with questions of immigration and integration.

It may contrast with other regional societies or emphasize common threads—democratic institutions, secularism, welfare systems—across diverse nations.
