A civilization is made of several different things. One thing that goes into a civilization is people of course. Without the people, there's no point in having a community. It also needs rules and responsibility so everyone gets treated equally.The last thing a community needs is food and water, so the people in the community will survive.

Some characteristics of civilization are:
Civilizations help each other by growing crops and they have rulers to keep organization in the community so people know what's theirs and whats not.They also have cities that people live in and everyone has a job so they can make cloths for each other and the cities get bigger and people start having children,so the communities get bigger and bigger...

A civilization is people who build community. They build home for them self to keep them self from rain storms. A civilization could be when people help each other out to get water and pants to eat.The civilization can make thing easy and they stay in one spot for they can be a civilization.Last they have rules to have a community.

The thing that you need to have a city is for one people and a lot of people not just about 20 or 40 more like about 100. Also houses and lots of food and water and make sure that ever as the same amount cause they might just make it harder to do and complete.

My evidents is how much that the people had problems with water and food and people want more being greedy. They nonstop want more then others.

Some characteristics of a civilizations are communicating. They had to communicate in order to work to together.If they did not have communication, then how are they going to have a way to speak to each other? Another characteristic of a civilizations is education, without education how can you learn or be taught. If you have children, and you don't have education, how are going hep your kids if thy need help? One last characteristic about a civilization is eating healthy, because if you don't there will be a lot of dieases spreading around and you would not want to be sick.

Some characteristic of a civilization are working together and help build the community. It’s people that communicate with each other and trade things to get food for their family. The reason why they trade food from each other because they need to eat for there health and for there strength. They need to go to school to learn how to read and write so they could get educated. I think they would need a leader so they could have peace, learn how to communicate and so they could have respect.

A big group of people over 100 that are gather like a community. But is a little of the same because the way they do things. and help each other.AND some are working with each other. I know that because it is just like a community.So I'm just taking after from what i know about a community. So that is what i think.ALSO they rated a leader to be the the boss and take over there community.AND take care of the food so no one fight over it and steal the food. There they had certain type of rules that no body can brake or they get kick out.

Some characteristic for civilization are working cause if no one work we have no clothes cause we need people to build clothes.They also need to work together to make a larger community. They needed education for kids cause then they have a career and when they have children then the will keep having children and the community will get larger.
The most characteristic to me is rules cause with out rules people can just come and steal something if they did not have rules the community will be dangerous. they need people because if there was no people there was no point of a community.

The main characteristics are: Food, Trade, Communities, Government, and also water. These 5 important need things were very important in the Mesopotamian times.



Several parts of characteristics are to trade important things to get around. The next part of a civilization is when people start to migrate for food and water and become bigger and greater communities, when they become bigger and greater communities they expand to become a city. Some people started to create there own farms and crops when they had enough water supply that they won’t have to migrate anymore and they can stay where they are, but if they didn’t have what they needed they would ask there neighbors to trade or to just collaborate that they would both have enough food and water supply to survive. When they have enough water and crops they started to have babies and also become a bigger community and when they had a lot of people living in that Community they became a city. Civilization is mostly apart to become a city and to care for one another. When a city was in the process of being created, they started to vote for a Leader. The reason they voted for a leader was that when the city was going well and when women started to have babies they need an independent leader that can stay on task and keep everyone and everything on point.

A characteristic is to help work together and to have rules to help people make the community better because if you have to make dictions on your own you might make a wrong choice and you might have to pay the consequences. Another is that you need to have respect for one and another because if our not respectful to another person you might not want to work with them and then you will not get you need done. And also you need jobs to trade clothes or maybe even food to get more clothes or clothes for food. Will another thing is tat if you don’t have people and you that you need people to have a community or a civilization.

Characteristics of a community is working together and also sharing. It also has animals who they domesticate. They have built irrigation systems to control the water. They also have built levees. They always knew how to hunt, but they now farm. Now they plant crops like corn,wheat,and carrots. They have skills to weave clothing,make baskets,and jewelry.

A civilization is people working together and building a community because as moms have babies the community gets bigger. People are making tools because they need it to help it with their crops. Also they had leaders because the leaders needed to make rules so the people can work peacefully. Another is people started to trade because that spread knowledge. Finally people had jobs like one group would make clothes another would build crops and so on.

Civilization is working with other people in your community. It also has jobs so people can buy stuff they need. Another thing they have is shelter. That is how they stay warm in the cold.The last thing is they need someone to make rules so people can be safe there.

The characteristics of civilization are a community that has at least 100,000 people. They also voted for what was right for them. Another characteristic is that they had to build bigger communities because more people started to live in the community more often. The communities grew larger as more people lived there. My last characteristic is that they had to plant more food because more people lived there for food, jobs and homes.

I think a to develop a community you have to work together.I think they have to work together because of the mesapatanens.

Aramis Pena,
Some of the characteristics of a community are that people start to make clothing also jewelry. They also start to make rules because people would try to take thing that don’t belong to them and then people would probably get mad and have a fight. To the people that toke something that’s not there’s would probably do something like kick them out of the community. Also the people within the community would start to make jobs available for the community like to make clothing, jewelry, and coins so they can be able to trade and also they would vote for leaders for the community. They would also start to make bigger communities because the families would try to get bigger.
