To Be Civil Or Not To Be Civil?

I believe that "civilized" means to be cultured and refined to better ones self. To follow what society deems proper. To be more accepted in social situations, and to advance ones awareness to their surroundings. What makes us civilized is to take in to consideration other peoples feelings and other peoples thoughts. We're taught by society what is "right" and what is "wrong". To be civilized could and is anything from spiritually minded, to culturally. For example, in our culture, it is deemed that if I should belch in public, that's uncivilized and rude, but in other cultures, it would be considered a compliment.

Thoughtful reflection! The belching example is perfect. Please go back and do a spell check for this post, and let me know when you have done that and I will award you your points. I am happy to see you taking such pride in your blog and personalizing it! Do you mind if I show other students what you have done?
