Explanation

The common elements of the field of experience run as language, then culture, then attitudes, then beliefs, then values.

Statement 2, language, comes first because shared symbols make any exchange of meaning possible at all.

Statement 5, culture, follows since the wider way of life frames how that language is used.

Statement 3, attitudes, come next as learned dispositions shaped within that culture.

Statement 4, beliefs, build on those attitudes as accepted convictions about the world.

Statement 1, values, close the order as the deepest standards guiding judgement and interpretation.
