Answer:

A civilization is a complex society that creates agricultural surpluses, allowing for specialized labor, social hierarchy, and the establishment of cities. Developments such as writing, complex religious systems, monumental architecture, and centralized political power have been suggested as identifying markers of civilization, as well. When we see these changes occur, we should stop and ask, “Did people institute these practices because they were beneficial, or were they forced on them?” Historians debate this very question, trying to determine whether civilization was a bottom-up or top-down development.

Some people think civilization is an advanced stage in the progression of human cultural evolution. But, when historians or anthropologists use the term civilization, they mean a society has many different, interconnected parts. So, rather than thinking about different forms of social organization as completely separate models, it’s helpful to think in terms of a spectrum of complexity. On one end, we have hunter-forager societies—which have little complexity—and on the other end, we have civilizations—which are highly complex. In between lie a wide variety of social structures of varying types and levels of complexity.

1. How did the September 11 attacks transform Americans’ understanding of their security? How did the response compare to that a
sammy [17]
Well, we discovered that we needed to upgrade security so that potential criminals weren't coming into our country, and so potentially harmful substances weren't being brought onto our planes. That meant literally anything that could become a bomb, start a fire, stab someone etc. As for Pearl Harbour, I think that had more of an affect on how we thought our military and defence system was working.
