I’ve tried all day to civilize my hair, but hot dry weather is not my friend. I’d have better luck teaching mice to twirl batons.
Time to go back and work on the proposal again. It is not a bad idea. Maybe I could civilize it a bit, make it more socially sanctified. Inserting a few “by your leave” or an occasional please and thank you in the right places wouldn’t hurt. If it is to be taken up the right people, people with influence, should feel the quality.
Take-over. Invade. Civilize. But they do not know that this place has already been lived on, it is already called a home. Maybe they will never see it but we will, we will know the truth.

As humans we need order to function. We need to act in a civilized manner if we are to co exist. We naturally depend on our interactions between one another so it is therefore imperative that we act with a civilized nature and with a higher level of compassionate understanding if society is to be deemed successful.
i wish people i knew for once acted civilized, but no. they’re all idiots. no one even care to say hello to me in the mornings, and i never get a single “goodbye” at the end of my day. people of the world, show some respect, and act civilized.

civilize is probably one of the most misunderstood words. “let’s civilize” the Europeans said, and then proceeded to systematically destroy entire civilizations, which, by definition, were already civilized. spaniards and the mayans, britishers and apparently everyone in the Universe. What exactly IS civilizing? some people said that if you can use machinery then youre civilized. but ask a native of the Andaman islands of india, and they would tell you, understanding plants and anmals and living in absolute simplicity, and being one with nature is being civilised.

Civilize. No more fighting, no more disorder.
Let’s think of others before ourselves.
Lauren
Civilize. Which we are not. To me, it means having the ability to put our own interests aside for others. Which we routinely fail to do personally, at a community level and in policy.
Briar
To civilize… this is what missionaries do innit, they go to places where heathens are and they ‘civilize’ them by introducing them to christianity – the only path to salvation… And then of course you have western conquerors civilising ‘savages’, primitives who are so clearly at a lower stage of development to us and need our influence to learn about BEING PRODUCTIVE and about economics and gadgets and all the paraphernalia of ‘civilised man’. Then you have adults civilings children, turning them from wild antisocial egocentric untamed animals into socialised human beings, proper people, adults who know how to behave and toe the line and become good upstanding citizens who hold down a job and DO THINGS rather than just BE!! then again it wouldnt be good would it if we were all in a wild untamed bestial savage stage – although as someone famous said and it probably still applies, ‘life is short and brutish and something else or other’ – my time must be up by now….
Geraldine McKenna
Bring (a place or people) to a stage of social, cultural, and moral development considered to be more advanced: “a civilized society”.
Polite and well-mannered.
Definition from Google
Civilize means the person who behaves very well with all person……..who knows the way how to behave with everyone………..all humans beings should be civilize……….its good for everyone to behave like a civilized person…….
josie grace
To be civilized is something I don’t think anyone really understands. If they did, then why are people still so monstrous towards one another? It should be simple, but what’s simple is never easy.
Sean Eason
When I think of this word, for some reason I’m thinking of the opposite, which I guess is uncivilzied. I’m picturing like a beach, a deserted island or something, with trees, like a jungle nearby. I’m thinking of a tribe and a society that isn’t civil, which it weird I guess.
Rachel
You really have to, you should at least? Or shouldn’t you? Simply dare at least. Why won’t you? Go civilze yourself!
insi shine
The goal was to “civilize” the “savages” of africa. I didn’t understand why we had to impose our will upon these clearly civilized people.
mackedee
I find you easy to civilize with. Your eyes are pools to swim in, and your arms are a house I can reside within. You feel safe and warm.
Paige
i can’t civilize your dangerous soul
i shouldn’t and i won’t
i tried and lost
it’s not about what can’t be tamed
but a person too mean to change
what we try to be in society. not working out so well since we’re masters at sabotaging our own happiness. to think we did all this work to make weapons to destroy ourselves.
Rachel
Civil eyes breed civil lies that civilize
Our population.
Secret spies, false alibis, bastardize
A legislation
Formed by all to serve not one,
But all, no matter race or creed;
Now used by some to serve but none
Save all their own self-deemed just breed.
Sweet honeyed words they ooze
While masses snooze and fancies fly
Free from the shackled innocents
Who choose or don’t, or know not why
To bother with a system
That yet seeks to oppress,
Enshrouded from its failures
Within promise of success.
What does civilize even me? I know civilized, I know civilization. Well… scratch that. Even those words seem so arbitrary and subjective to me. How can someone be civilized with no savages to whom they can be compared? How can we have civilizations without the ashes from which they are raised? How can I define civilize without first learning to define myself?
Kaylyn
How does one civilize a boy born amongst beasts? His parents were thieves and alcoholics, they abused his speed and small size for their own gains. They buried themselves in debt without heeding the needs of his future and now, he sits scared and uncertain in the back of the woman’s car, the woman to whom he was just sold.
We need to be more civilized when it comes to the content for entertainment. Many shows today are popular simply because of the negative actions of its stars. Reality shows are the epitome of uncivilized entertainment.
Y Keaton
‘Civilize’ means the opposite. It means – ignore your fellow man in favor of the mechanism.
Margot
Civilize me. Take the raging forces of blood and salt and bone from me and replace them with calm industriousness, with inner reflection, with discipline and order. Tear the chaos from my flesh and give me instead a cool head and a new god in productivity.
Civilize the world,
from it’s glaring eyes.
Teach it a lesson.
Show that outside beauty is a mere illusion.
Become the analogy.
Be the allegory.
Civilize the world with your onion layers.
Be deeper than the sea,
truer than what is me.
Anthony Nguyen
The gods arrived on the shore in in the afternoon. They emerged from the seas, their bodies glowing with the very light of the sun. Today, everything changed.
Suffocation. Has about the appeal of settling down or conforming to society. To civilize is to lose everything that is wild and trembling, everything that is alive.
Civilized isn’t always what you think it means. Civilized nations, civilized people. We hear it and we understand the opposite to be demeaning. but are we civilized? What does civilized even mean? Who is to say what set of morals and values and actions and thoughts define this term? We are all civilized, but yet in the same way, none of us are civilized. Our actions aren’t always what is expected by others, and not always what would be defined by others as civilized.

civilization is a weird thing. some things are okay to do and some aren’t. it kind of just depends on where you live and your culture. civilized people do certain things then will look down on people that act out. i guess that is considered normal and abnormal. but what is normal and abnormal is dependent on culture.

The boy fell from the tree and rolled around in the dirt screaming. Bob rubbed his head and looked back at his wife. They’d found the boy living in the woods deep in the forest of Montana. There were no wolves, he was no Mowgli come to life but there was no doubt he had never been among people.
To civilize is to contain, protect. To make a safe zone for all that is “right”. Are we correct to determine what makes something civil? Not particularly.
Tyler Davis
I will be right here. Waiting in the wings for you to destroy yourselves. It is a inevitability. You must. You live therefore you destroy. And I, your unsympathetic narrator with look on with absolute relish as I make clear what it is that makes me a God, and you simply my little playthings.
Civilize. My brain is so dead, I can’t even think of anything to write about the word “civilize”. Civilize civilize civilize. Civilization. They found civilization. We are civilized…sometimes.
Pouting, yelling, kicking, screaming. I cannot do all that in the presence of others. I wish I could, though. Give you a nice kick in the balls. Thou deserveth. Anyway, have a happy drab life without me. Be civil.
