Personally I consider Monday the beginning of a new week. For me it goes "the week" (Mon-Fri), then weekend (Sat & Sun) and then it all starts over.

The work and school week begins on Monday.
The week in general pretty much begins on Sunday; hence the layout of all the printed calendars.
God rested on the sabbath after 6 days of building the world as we know it and the sabbath is Saturday. So that supports Sunday as the beginning of the week.
Confusing though since both Saturday and Sunday are considered the weekend.
Hope that helped.

Americans usually think of Sunday as the first day of the week, and Europeans think of Monday as the first day of the week (I remember a big argument over on Wikipedia about this once). I also think people go by what their workplace says. Where I currently work (for a fire department), Sunday is considered the first day of the week. I used to work for the USPS which considered, of all things, Saturday to be the first day of the week.

That's actually kind of a hard question. Many people of different religions go to church on Sundays, to celebrate Gods resting after 6 days of creation, but isn't that the first day of the week?????? If it helps, the modern day calender was, I believe, invented by Julius Caeser, hence the "Julian Calender". Maybe that little bit of trivia can help if you want to search further on the Net.

Sunday is generally recognized as the first day of the week.
Jewish people celebrate the Sabbath or "Seventh Day" on Saturday.
Tradition would say Sunday.

I have 4 calendars, and each has Sunday as the first day of the week.
If you read Genesis, day by day of the Creation, you will find the last day of the week is from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.

Sunday is the first day of week. I wish I could tell you why, but I really don't know. I just know that calenders go from Sunday to Saturday when listing days.

The confusion concerns what the Sabbath of God was truly all about.
If you read the actual commandment in the Ten Commandments, you will notice the lack of any directions for special worship on this day. The commandment is all about setting the day aside as a day of REST, not necessarily worship...we are to worship God every single day of our lives.
I am amused when I see some people making a huge deal out of setting the seventh day as their day of worship...there is no harm in this, of course, except as it involves breaking the actual commandment to make it a day of rest.
Do you drive your car? OOPS, you "kindled a fire"...you broke the commandment!
Do you stop for gas? OOPS, you paid someone else to do menial labor for you...you broke the commandment!
Do you Take your family out for dinner after service? OOPS, you paid someone else to do menial labor for you...you broke the commandment!
Do you go shopping? OOPS!!
Do you cook lunch? OOPS!!
Do you ask your kids to clean their rooms? OOPS!!
Do their homework? OOPS!!
Set the table for supper? OOPS!!
Did you cook supper for the family? OOPS!!
Did you order out for supper, or take the family out? OOPS!!
Do you mow the lawn? OOPS!!
Go fishing? OOPS!!
Oh, yeah, and don't forget...the "Sabbath" is actually from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday...which raises some more questions:
Did you do any menial labor, ask any member of your family to do any menial labor, or pay anyone to do any menial labor for you on Friday evening? OOPS!!
Do you attend service on Saturday evening, and does the service last till after sundown? OOPS!!
Chances are, you break the fourth commandment 100 different ways every Sabbath, all the while feeling very superior to those "unenlightened" Christians who sleep in on Saturday, and go to worship services on Sunday.
Think about it....
