CIVILIZATION

A civilization is a society which shares different things, like culture, language, beliefs, values, etc.

The word civilization is also used as a synonym for the word culture. Every person is in a culture, defined by its art, behaviour and other customs. These constitute their way of life.


Civilizations can be catalogue by their high level of social complexity, organization, by their economic status or cultural activities.


Civilization is also used as a synonym for superiority of certain groups of people, because is assumed to be superior to previous civilizations like savage or barbarian cultures.


As a personal opinion, without civilization the world as we know it would exist, because civilization implies customs, organizations, cities, different occupations, etc.

Also other things that are common in our culture is the transportation, we have different types of transportation like, buses, cars, airplanes. Another thing that characterized us as a civilization is the technology, which it does not exist some years ago.
