	Civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In a technical sense, a civilization is a complex society in which many of the people live in cities and get their food from agriculture, as distinguished from band and tribal societies in which people live in small settlements or nomadic groups and make their subsistence by foraging, hunting, or working small horticultural gardens.
		Civilization can sometimes refer to human society as a whole, as in "A nuclear war would wipe out Civilization" or "I'm glad to be safely back in Civilization after being lost in the wilderness for 3 weeks." Additionally, it is used in this sense to refer to the potential global civilization.
		Civilizations can be distinguished from one another in several ways, and the number of distinct civilizations, their duration, and extent, are the subject of some debate.

	The Role of Culture Factors in Global Processes and Conflicts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		From the point of view of contemporary global situation we can see that elements of civilization subsystem of culture are developing very dynamically and they have the strong tendency (they are useful and therefore they are universal) to create the base of higher socio-cultural wholes i.e.
		One of their cultural substructures (civilization) is continually integrated with the same substructures of other cultural systems and second one on the contrary strengthens the inner cohesiveness and specificity of the system.
		Civilization expansion has created the specific cultural "substitute" for cultural "vacuum", which is valuably indifferent and which supports and fix civilization tendency.

	Complexity and Human Civilization
		The interdependence of human civilization on a global scale is manifest in the many ways that local actions in one part of the world affect global behaviors.

	Anthropologists and the Rise of a Global Civilization
		Perhaps one of the reasons why anthropologists have not paid too much attention to the rise of this global civilization is their concern that the results may not be good for our species.
		It is possible that a systematic and judicious approach to dealing with the elements of the global civilization that are impinging on all the cultures of the world can be beneficial to all humanity.
		Faced with a choice of adopting some foreign elements of the global civilization when a local analogue is available, the latter should be used.

		Moreover, Islam was not opposed to learning from the earlier civilizations and incorporating their science, learning, and culture into its own world view, as long as they did not oppose the principles of Islam.
		The global civilization thus created by Islam permitted people of diverse ethnic backgrounds to work together in cultivating various arts and sciences.
		The religion of Islam was itself responsible not only for the creation of a world civilization in which people of many different ethnic backgrounds participated, but it played a central role in developing intellectual and cultural life on a scale not seen before.

	Politicians' Role in a Global Civilization
		The identity of this civilization does not lie merely in similar forms of dress, or similar drinks, or in the constant buzz of the same commercial music all around the world, or even in international advertising.
		It is also essential that the Euro-American cultural sphere-the one which created this civilization and taught humanity its destructive pride-now return to its own spiritual roots and become an example to the rest of the world in the search for a new humility.
		And how better to serve the community and practice morality than by seeking in the midst of the global (and globally threatened) civilization their own global political responsibility: that is, their responsibility for the very survival of the human race?

	Islam: A Global civilization
		Such sayings of the Prophet as "Seek knowledge even in China", "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave", and Verily the men of knowledge are the inheritors of the prophets", have echoed throughout the history of Islam and incited Muslims to seek knowledge wherever it might be found.
		The Muslims did not translate the scientific and philosophical works of other civilizations out of fear of political or economic domination but because the structure of Islam itself is based upon the primacy of knowledge.
		As European civilization grew and reached the high Middle Ages, there was hardly a field of learning or a form of art, whether it was literature or architecture, where there was not some influence of Islam present.

	Jesus Christ and Civilization, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Sep. 22, 2000)
		Since the civilization presently gripped by a planetary existential crisis, has been, predominantly, a globally extended European civilization which is nominally, at least, Christian, there could be no competent examination of the present crisis which did not address and answer the immediately following question.
		The essential motive for those wars, was the perpetuation of the globalized form of the feudal system, against, initially, Frederick, but also, from the start, against the entirety of that upsurge of Europe traced from Alcuin and Charlemagne, through the period of the building of the great cathedrals in the Augustinian spirit displayed at Chartres.
		It is the method of the physical science upon which modern civilization's avoidance of a new dark age depends without exception; it is the Socratic method upon which we depend absolutely for those Classical principles of artistic composition, without which effective cooperation in the discovery and application of universal physical principles were not possible.

	GLOBAL CIVILIZATION: DISINTEGRATION & REBIRTH
		The living spirit of health-care, and a democratic society itself, cannot be renewed by a strategy, which obstinately persists in relying upon the grossly inequitable, unhealthy, and deadly morality of the marketplace, which governs the existing situation.
		We shall have a democratic rebirth of citizenship, or else, disintegration of civilization.
		Brutal defiance by the state on behalf of global corporate interests, of just demands by the global citizenry, can only lead to the collapse of legitimacy of the state and an expression of outrage by the people spinning out of control.

	GLOBAL DIALOGUE INSTITUTE -- GDI
		This is not to discount Western-now-becoming-Global civilization's defects, blind spots and seething problems, some of the most critical of which are largely a result of its very accomplishments, e.g., the population explosion (because of, inter alia, medical and agricultural advances), the ecological crisis (because of, inter alia, technological advances and the population explosion).
		This global ethic must, and can, be arrived at, and constantly be extended, by consensus through unending dialogue among women and men of all religious and ethical persuasions.
		But this Global Civilization is different from all previous civilizations in that it is not envisioned, motivated, and directed by a single religion at its heart, as were all other civilizations of the past, including Western Civilization.

	GLOBAL DIALOGUE INSTITUTE -- GDI
		There are the many "external" factors that have appeared in the past century and a half which have contributed constitutively to the creation of what we today call the "global village." In the past the vast majority of people were born, lived and died all within the village or valley of their origin.
		That the need for a global ethic is most urgent is becoming increasingly apparent to all; humankind no longer has the luxury of letting such an ethic slowly and haphazardly grow by itself, as it willy nilly will gradually happen.
		We are convinced that a just global order can be built only upon a global ethic which clearly states universally-recognized norms and principles, and that such an ethic presumes a readiness and intention on the part of people to act justly -- that is, a movement of the heart.
