civilization

A civilization is a group of people who live together and have their own way of doing things. For example, when you go to school, you are part of a little civilization. You have your own rules and routines, like raising your hand to speak or lining up to go outside.

A civilization can also mean a very advanced society. This is when people have made many discoveries and inventions, like buildings, roads, and even spaceships! They have learned a lot and have a lot of knowledge to share with others.
