Material culture is the physical or technological aspects of a culture in our daily lives. In laymen's terms, things that show our social class, and how we live, materially. "Do we place a lot of emphasis on our material possessions or not?" Examples of this would be our cars, houses, clothing, computers (or other technological gadgets) etc.
Non-material culture is the cultural adjustments to material conditions, or in laymen's terms our customs, beliefs, patterns of communication, and the ways we use material objects. Examples of this include, politics, economics, language, rules, customs, family, religion or beliefs, values, and knowledge.
