Civilization and Culture

Civilization refers to a complex society characterized by established cities, governments, economic systems, and advancements in technology and infrastructure. Culture encompasses the shared beliefs, customs, arts, language, and values that define a community. While civilization provides the structural framework for organized life, culture gives a society its unique identity and way of understanding the world. Together, they shape human experience—civilization offers stability and progress, whereas culture reflects the community’s history, creativity, and collective identity.
