I was reading a book and found there an interesting question. It was a question about what appeared first the language or the culture. It appeared to be a matter of argument for a number of scientists and they say there is no answer for this question. So, let me express my mind about this question. I believe that it is culture that foregoes the language. Say, there is a tribe living somewhere in the world and they don’t speak, they have no language. But they still have their needs and they have the household peculiar for them. They make something that will make their life easier and that will help them to get some food and to cook it. They make this thing according to the peculiarities of its future functions and only after that they give a name for this thing. So, from this point of view there is a culture at first and than the language as a result of necessity to identify one object from another. But it is just a thought and you may not agree with it. but the priority of language, I think, is also the reason why there are words common for one nation and impossible to be translated with the help of means of another language.

It should be noted that diplomatic and civilized person behaves in accordance with the rules of etiquette, not only at official ceremonies, but also at home. Genuine politeness, which is based on goodwill, driven by the act, a sense of action, suggests that it is possible and what can not be done under the circumstances. Such people will never disturb the public order nor short, does neither the act offend no other, not hurt dignity. Unfortunately, there are people with a double standard of conduct: one – in humans, the other – at home. At work, with friends and friends are polite warning, but the house is not close to the ceremony, rude and not considerate. This shows the low culture of rights and poor education. Modern etiquette governs the behavior of people in the home, the service, in public places and on the street, on a visit and to various kinds of official events – receptions, ceremonies, talks. So etiquette – is very large and important part of human culture, morals, and ethics, developed over many centuries of life of all peoples in accordance with their ideas of good, justice and humanity – of the moral culture and beauty, order, improvement, home expediency – in a culture of material. Good manners are one of the basic principles of modern life is the maintenance of good relations between people and the desire to avoid conflict. In turn, the respect and attention can be earned only if the courtesy and restraint. Therefore, nothing valued by people around us so dearly, as a courtesy and sensitivity. But in life, we often face brutality, sharpness, lack of respect to the identity of another person. The reason here is that we underestimate the culture of human behavior, his manners. Manners – a way to keep themselves outside the behaviors of other people that are used in the speech, expression, tone, intonation, characteristic of the human gait, gestures and even body language. In a society well-mannered modesty and restraint are human, the ability to monitor their actions carefully and tactfully communicate with other people.
