What is the difference between culture and civilization ? One of the differences between culture and civilization is culture represents what we are and civilization represents what we have. Another difference is civilization includes the things by which we attain other objects, such as technology. Culture is that which brings us pleasure and satisfaction. Culture cannot be measured and civilization has a standard of measurement. Civilisation The word civilization comes from the Latin civilis ( = civil ), related to the Latin civis ( = citizen ), and civitas ( = city or city-state ). Civilisation ( in British English ) generally refers to state polities which combine these basic institutions, having one or more of each : a ceremonial centre ( a formal gathering place for social and cultural activities ), a system of writing, and a city. Culture : The modern term “culture” is based on a term used in classical antiquity by the Ancient Roman orator Cicero in his Tusculan Dispotations, where he wrote of a cultivation of the soul or “cultura animi”. Cicero "refers to all the ways in which human beings overcome their original barbarism, and through artifice, become fully human". This non-agricultural use of the term "culture" re-appeared in modern Europe in the 17th century referring to the betterment or refinement of individuals, especially through education. During the 18th and 19th century it came to refer more frequently to the common reference points of whole peoples. Some scientists such as Edward Tylor used the term "culture" to refer to a universal human capacity. In the 20th century, "culture" emerged as a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of human phenomena that cannot be directly attributed to genetic inheritance. Culture can be defined as an integrated system of learned behaviours and interactions patterns, cognitive constructs, and affective understanding that are learned through a process of socialization.
