What is a civilization?

In this article, it informs of how many historians and people would classify what a civilization would be. Currently, it wouldn't be considered as a civil civilization due to all the negative affects human beings had been capable of over time as they had advanced from civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia. Many of these affects had been slavery, oppression, subordination of women, and much more inequity. Many of the questions civilians can ask is "what makes society to feel racism, to feel on top of people, with a belief that their race is superior?" Many people will have the belief that everyone should be considered equal no matter what. Many people would prefer to live in the times of the Egyptian or Mesopotamian civilizations where almost none of these barbaric ways had been created. Civilizations with this is uncivilized and implies how evil the world can be if open your eyes. It takes away the good the human race has done in order to move forward in society like with technology, way of life, and how they've taken nature to their advantage. Additionally, it shows how a civilization can also be classified by the diverse identities. Since some civilizations aren't with diverse races, a foolish act on some societies, but they are classified by the class. So much of the upper class considered themselves an inclusive civilization. However, it wasn't considered any society within the borders of the beginning civilizations.  Dividing these societies by class would often create a problem for lower class people. Civilization would represent  a society civilized and able to function together. Not with violence, racism, and inequity which only makes our world not worth to exist.
