Broad Definition of Civilization
A civilization is a group of people living within an area, be it country, town, or city, in which they have a more advanced organized system on how they function. A civilization is when a group of people can have an organized environment, in which there are established rules or laws, and some sort of system on how the people are educated or how they trade, as well as how their leadership is set up. The key word to civilization is having some time of order.

Good broad definition, Karmen. One of the things that scholars argue about with this concept, though, is the idea of "Organization." In particular, what exactly does one mean by that term? How "organized" does a group have to be in order to become "civilized?"
