The paper analyses the meaning of social context from the point of view of the family, society and culture due to the fact that development is deeply «inbuilt» into context which presupposes immediate wide range of conditions.

The preconditions of person’s dignity are formed before their birth. The importance of «embyo experience» is acquired on the basis of formation and changing processes of definite genetic structures, which are implemented and realized in individual life of the spices of the individuality and cultural and historic experience received during evolution process.

The culture of dignity is more ready to fight social cataclysms, to find the way out from crisis in the dramatic process of human history than the culture of benefit.
