Civilization

ÊÊÊÊ Civilization is the way of life of a particular people, place, or time.Ê It includes the level of social, cultural, political, and intellectual development.Ê In other words, what did the people of a particular place and time in history learn about their environment that allowed them to survive as a group?Ê How did they use what they learned to get food, housing, and tools?Ê How was the group organized?Ê What jobs or roles did the people perform for the good of the group?Ê What rules, beliefs, and language developed to keep the group going?Ê How was knowledge and information passed from one generation to another?Ê How did the group adapt to changes that occurred?

ÊÊÊÊ The answers to all these questions are what allow a civilization to survive and flourish!
