Culture is a very abstract concept. But in communication and interaction, its level is determined fairly objectively and quickly. It is obvious even to people of low culture, not to mention the demanding "high-flying birds." Do not confuse the concepts of "cultural man" and "intelligent man." All intellectuals are cultural, but not vice versa. Not everyone can be a creator of spiritual blessings. A cultured person is an expert in social interaction, and absolutely anyone can become one if he wants to make an effort.
Keep nature in check
First of all, about the concept that formed the discussed characteristic of man. Culture should not be understood in the narrow sense as education and upbringing. This is an opposition to nature. That is, this ability brought up in a person to curb not the best aspects of his nature. This is not hypocrisy, but self-discipline. A cultured person is not one who hides hatred behind ostentatious courtesy. This is the one who tries to replace bad feelings at the deepest level. And if it doesnโt work out, then at least limit yourself to chilly politeness. Of course, you can blame cultural people for double-mindedness. But this is not entirely true, because it is not a change in the way of reaction and demonstration of nonexistent, it is just a mitigation of strong emotions and maximum care even for an unpleasant interlocutor.
Reason must work
A cultured person is one who knows how to be interesting. For this, people of high development regularly and often read, engage in self-education. They understand that not everyone is interested in talking about baby mixes and new outfits, wrenches or development plans, so they have to expand the range of topics. Of course, this does not mean that a cultured person never discusses everyday and professional topics, being interested only in Bebel and Babel. Simply, in principle, he is able to be interesting to different interlocutors. People with a lower education are also good and comfortable with him. They can accurately determine which person is cultural and which is not. Such people, of course, feel the distance, but a cultured person will try to make it not so painful. As a result, such individuals become landmarks of development and equal bright interlocutors to high-level people.
Empathy and understanding
From the previous characteristic it is clear that a cultured person is not only intelligence, but also special rules of communication. To explain in an interesting and understandable way, it is necessary to overcome the barrier of knowledge. This barrier means that it is rather difficult for a person with a high level of knowledge to distract from his system and help a little one to understand. This requires empathy as the ability to empathize and see the reaction. Subtle sensitivity is practiced with the help of a great communicative experience. Although the importance of natural talent cannot be ignored either.
Among representatives of some professions there are more cultural people. There are especially many among good and experienced teachers and doctors, that is, people who, on duty, have to explain a lot. And to do this clearly, take care of the interlocutor. The behavior of a cultured person is an educated skill. Therefore, everyone should strive for the ideal; it is attainable.
