According to my point of view civilization is a complex relation between citizens of a determined society which make questions to the past in order to understand the present. It implies the social evolution and for this reason is always changing in terms of art, literature, technology, education, etc.
Also civilization implies culture due to all the human beings belong to a specific society with their own beliefs and characteristics and they have developed economical, social and political structures. Equally important are the laws and the government that facilitate the social order.
Another important point is how civilizations perceive the world. For example the occidental civilizations do not observe in the same the way the world that the oriental cultures.
In conclusion civilization is the way of life of the humans, how they relate with their environment, how they develop strategies to maintain the order and how they discover the world.
