Answer and explanation;

By organizing information through the use of civilization, one is able to distinctly outline specific cultures based on their time and places.

Civilization is a "western word" that is defined as having:

1) a food producing based that generated surpluses,

2) an in increase in population,

3) specialization of labor,

4) a social hierachy,

5) growth of trade,

6) centralization of political and religious authority,

7) monumental building, and

8) the development of writing and written records.
