The Aztec Civilization Examples
The definition of civilized is being refined or polite. Society influences how our look on how to be civilized. Today our civilization is nothing like it was when the Aztec's were here. They used to do mass human sacrifices which is very different from today. If you started to sacrifice people you wouldn't be considered civilized. You will most likely be called "savage".
When we were younger it's very likely that your parents taught you manners like don't chew with your mouth open.
We have stepped away from being our animal-like selves. We don't kill someone if they come and take our pencil or something like that. Instead we learned to communicate and trust each other to not kill us. For example, when I walk down the street the I trust the
people walking past me to not bash my head on a fire hydrant. Another example is we learned to respect ourselves and others. Respect includes privacy. Today we believe that a person deserves privacy. We consider communicating more civilized than fighting.
