The word civilization means a lot of important things for me:
Nowadays people don’t realized that we have a past plenty of important events. Many of this events are crucially in our present. For that reason from my point of view civilization is about the man’s history. Is also the expression of the believes through the time and how they change as the way of their behave. On the other hand old civilization helps to this new generations to understand in a better way the different process of a community. Maybe we can learn about taking care about the others. For example, if we are looking for the history of the first cultures and the way of they were worried about their community somehow we imitate certain things.
On the whole civilization is how people organize their way of live in a community through the time and their changes in order to make their lives easier.
