TYPES OF CULTURE

 Sociologists describe two interrelated aspects of human culture: the physical objects of
the culture and the ideas associated with these objects.

MATERIAL CULTURE NON-MATERIAL CULTURE

It refers to the physical pieces that
make up a culture. Material
culture consists of things that are
created by
humans. Examples include cars,
buildings, clothing, and tools.
Nonmaterial culture refers to the
abstract ideas and ways of thinking
that make up a culture.
 refers to the nonphysical ideas that people
have about their culture, including beliefs,
values, rules, norms, morals, language,
organizations, and institutions. For instance,
the non‐material cultural concept
of religion consists of a set of ideas and
beliefs about God, worship, morals, and
ethics. These beliefs, then, determine how
the culture responds to its religious topics,
issues, and events.
