The article is written as a detailed historical reference about the origin of the concept of "culture", the author of which is the prominent Roman public figure Cato the Elder, or Mark Porcius Cato the Censor. Cato is known not only as the author of a work on agriculture, where the definition of "culture" is used for the first time, but also as a persistent supporter of bringing the war between Rome and Carthage to a victorious end, which can be considered a manifestation of geopolitical culture. But over the millennia after those events, neither culture nor geopolitical culture could completely go beyond their original meaning and acquire new moral determinants.

The article deals with one of the most urgent and important problems – the role of the expert community in creation of a new theoretical and methodological framework for the development of staffing for an innovative breakthrough in the context of the deployment of the sixth technological order on the background of greening public and in particular economic relations. Currently the concept of "expert" is so widespread that its interpretations may differ diametrically opposite in some cases: from denoting the status of a specialist engaged in independent evaluation to complimenting a person who has a number of highly subjective achievements in any field. At the same time it is very important to give a significant place to independent expertise when forming an objective assessment of strategic decisions. Taking into account that humanity has come to understand the limited resources of the planet at the present stage of development of civilization. The world is faced with the inevitability of making strategic decisions related to long-term innovative advanced balanced socio-economic development and aimed at overcoming global problems that threaten the continued existence of man as a biological species. Intensive development of high-tech technologies accelerates the reduction of the vital potential of the planet in the context of entering into the sixth technological order so it is extremely important to make production as eco-friendly and economical as possible, to reduce consumption and consequently the rate of depletion of natural resources. It is almost impossible to achieve this without organizing a proper staffing system.
