According to contents there are two types of culture in
each society.
1. Material Culture:
Material culture refers to the physical objects,
resources, and spaces that people use to define their culture. Material culture includes all those
man-made things and objects which human society has created for its physical
welfare in times of peace and war. Items such as clothes, utensils, homes,
roads, ornaments, T.V., radio, various machines, gadgets and various means of transport and
communication are some examples of material culture.
2. Non-material Culture:
Non-material
culture, in contrast, consists of the ideas, attitudes,
and beliefs of a society. Material and non-material aspects of culture are
linked, and physical objects often symbolize cultural ideas. The
appropriateness of wearing certain clothing for specific events reflects
non-material culture. Non-material
culture includes all those ideals, attitudes and values which modify the
behaviour of man, language, literature, art, music, religion, customs,
traditions etc. are some of the examples of non-material culture
