How do material and non material culture influence each other?

Material culture includes all of the physical objects that people create and give meaning to. Cars, clothing, schools, computers, and books would be examples. An object only becomes part of culture after meaning have been given to it. A rock in a field has no meaning until it is used as a tool or to build a fence.Non-material culture consists of thoughts and behaviour that people learn as part of the culture they live in. It includes politics, economics, language, rules, customs, family, religion or beliefs, values, and knowledge.Further considerationsA culture is the collective manifestation of human intellectual achievement, and relates to the accomplishments and attitudes of a people of a particular time. A material culture places emphasis on objects, material accomplishments; the acquisition of material wealth; skill and productivity in arts and crafts; technology; fine buildings and displays of material prosperity.A non-material culture values 'abstract/intangible' things more highly than objects, e.g. things such as ideas; the things of the mind; philosophy; metaphysics; 'spirituality'; values; beliefs; relationships between god and man; 'being', etcFor more information, see Related links below this box

How is the word 'culture' defined in social science?

Culture is that part of reality that is the result of human action or thought. Culture is determined by how people view the world and how in turn people shape the world around them. It consists of beliefs, knowledge, institutions, and artifacts that are shared by society and passed down from generation to generation. It is the opposite of nature. Government, religion, morality, education, economics, language, the arts and sciences, entertainment and recreation, and technology are all part of human culture. Culture may also include the activities and ways of thinking by a particular human social group in a given geographical area at a particular period in history.
