From this perspective, culture is often synonymous with the \u201cstuff\u201d people have in their lives, whether the clothing they wear or the technology they create.

Even though we cannot physically touch this aspect of culture, it shapes our lives, actions, and understanding of the larger world. Holidays are an example of both material and nonmaterial culture. The month of September opens with Labor Day and Rosh Hashanah, and as we will see, these very different holidays exemplify the role of culture in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/general\/laborday\/history\">Labor Day is a day to celebrate workers<\/a>. From a nonmaterial perspective, workers represent the society\u2019s \u201ccan do\u201d spirit. Broadly speaking, workers are supposed to be industrious, conscientious, and productive. They occupy an important rung on the ladder of the <strong>American Dream<\/strong>, <em>a commonly held belief in the U.S. suggesting that anyone can overcome obstacles and get ahead in life through hard work and determination<\/em>. Honoring these ideals speaks to the <strong>manifest function<\/strong>, <em>intentional and formally sanctioned functions of social institutions and society<\/em>, of Labor Day. However, in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, Labor Day, like many secular holidays, is more about consumerism than its founders originally intended. From car sales to mattress discounts, Labor Day is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarionledger.com\/story\/news\/2021\/09\/05\/how-significance-labor-day-has-changed-over-years\/8167524002\/\">now about business sales<\/a> and material culture, resulting in the very workers we are supposed to be celebrating having to work on their day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-109810 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"A Jewish new year honey dish surrounded by red and green apples.\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-723x1024.jpg 723w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-1085x1536.jpg 1085w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-1447x2048.jpg 1447w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/menachem-weinreb-cal7w-gr-Ho-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1808w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/article\/rosh-hashanah-101\/\">Rosh Hashanah marks the start of the Jewish New Year.<\/a> It is a time of prayer, reflection, and feasting with family and friends. While Rosh Hashanah has a deep religious significance that clearly exemplifies nonmaterial culture, it also includes artifacts of material culture that can be physically touched. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/article\/decoding-the-shofar\/\">shofar, an instrument made of a ram\u2019s horn<\/a> used during Rosh Hashanah services, is a type of material culture that has a great deal of nonmaterial significance. Similarly, the foods consumed as part of the celebration have sacred meanings that go well beyond simple nourishment. The traditional challah bread represents the cycle of life, and the honey that the bread is dipped into signifies hopes for the New Year. The symbolic meanings applied to these food items make them both material and nonmaterial culture simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Culture is rarely about clear-cut divisions separating material from nonmaterial. Often, material and nonmaterial cultures are different sides of the same coin, each appearing to be independent of the other but stuck together nonetheless. In studying culture, it is important to look at both sides of the coin to get a better sense of its true value in the larger society.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Thompson is a co-owner of\u00a0<\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b><i>UITAC Publishing<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><b><i>.
