In philosophy, materialism is that form of physicalism which holds that the only thing that can truly be said to exist is matter; that fundamentally, all things are composed of material and all phenomena are the result of material interactions. Science uses a working assumption, sometimes known as methodological naturalism, that observable events in nature are explained only by natural causes without assuming the existence or non-existence of the supernatural.

Materialism refers to individuals being too attached to "things." They believe they can't survive if they do not have access to certain items. For example, some folk might think they couldn't survive without their cell phones.

A person who is materialistic puts their trust in obtaining as many things as possible. They are always seeking the latest and best - keeping up with the Jones. They are never satisfied because you always want more
