a. non-material culture

b. material culture

c. a cultural universal

d. the counterculture

Answer 1

The correct answer is a. Non-material culture.

Non-material culture refers to beliefs, rules, customs, ways of thinking, ideas that make up a culture. They are not items you can hold or touch but rather ways of living, how we go about our daily lives. So going to get a haircut, visiting your dentist or taking public transport would all be examples of non- material culture.
