Question

What is a civilization?

Answer 1

Answer:

A civilization, sometimes known as a civilization, is a complex society marked by urbanization, social stratification, a form of administration, and symbolic communication systems. Even among today’s anthropologists, however, defining what civilization is and which societies fall under that label is a contentious issue.

• Civilization is derived from the 16th-century French civilize which is derived, from Latin civils or civil, related to civics or citizen and civitas or city.
• Civilization was widely employed in an ethnocentric manner, with civilizations being morally good and culturally evolved and other societies being morally wrong.
• This complex background is what makes academics’ task of identifying a civilization so difficult, and why the current concept is continuously evolving.
