society or community

[sardar]

could you plse expalin to me the subtle diference between the two and how to use them without confusion

[JMB1122]

Community is more local in scope: "We have two football fields in our community."

Society is larger/broader in scope: "There are too many obese people in American society."

You are correct that it is a subtle difference.

Another very subtle difference is that society often suggests more formal association than community.

The Society of Civil Engineers.
This suggests a sanctioned, legal, group of members in a titled association.

The community of civil engineers.
This would describe pretty much all civil engineers around the world.
