2. the relationship between culture and society. The culture explicit cultural tastes, values, trends, social relationships and therefore changes and transforms following social change.
3. the symbolic function of objects today. As an element of material culture, objects are part of an open information system and they have a complex function.
4. the food as an element of material culture.Il food is important because it has different symbolic representations (food-diet, natural food, food and food, functional food to the body's health, organic food, etc.). For this reason, not only is, but also the structure of the lifestyles of the consumer who, through some specific choices, works on himself and his social representation.
