Civilization has been around since the Agricultural Revolution. It is a human society that we are all still in today, but over the years, that kind of civilization has evolved. We are organized and in control, just like civilization was in the Paleolitic Era. From small villages to large cities, this is just one example of how our civilization has evolved, and what it has become now.
The Middle East was the first place for civilization to take place. Countries in this region such as Africa and Egypt had rather distinctive civilizations to make them different from one another. Egypt, for instance, had pyramids built in the desert which is something Africa does not have though its civilians discovered Egypt's pyramids.
The cities from back then were definitely a lot different from the ones that we are used to today... At least here in the U.S.A. Rather than made of steel and iron, the cities back around 2000 B.C.E. were made of bricks, like the Mohenjo Daro in Mesopotamia. Although I'm sure that there are still some cities that are still made out of bricks today, it really amazes me as to how we went from ancient to modern in such a large period of time.
It's hard to understand the real meaning of civilization, but to me, it means being a large, organized place where we are under control of a government. That's really because it's the kind of civilization I grew up with.
