Unit 1

What does it mean to be civilized? What makes something or someone "civilized?"



There are three definitions for the word civilized. One is having a highly developed society and culture. The other is showing evidence of moral and intellectual advancement; humane, ethical, reasonable. Another one is marked by refinement in taste and manners; cultured; polished. I think to be civilized means to be able to think of the good of society and have a defined culture. Showing the good for society and the cultures is one way of being civilized. I think the term civilized mean alot of things. I think somthing that is civilized is when we're not going by our first instincts and we're using our brain or doing something for the good of society instead of just ourselves.

Good post. Good point that civilizations would not survive if the citizens aren't willing to work together for their survival.

Try to think of an original title for your posts, ok?

Well written. 20/20 points.
