In the ordinary circumstances of life in public places, they cover the greater part of the trunk with clothes. 2. They keep the body clean and take care to dispose of its waste products. 3. They do not practice severe mutilation or deformation of the body, except for medical reasons. 4. They have knowledge of building in brick or stone, if the necessary materials are available in their territory. 5. Many of them live in towns or cities, which are linked by roads. 6. They cultivate food plants. 7. They domesticate animals and use some of the larger ones for transport (or have in the past so used them), if suitable species are available. 8. They have knowledge of the use of metals, if these are available. 9. They use wheels. 10. They exchange property by the use of money. 11. They order their society by a system of laws, which are enforced in such a way that they ordinarily go about their various concerns in times of peace without danger of attack or arbitrary arrest. 12. They permit accused persons to defend themselves and to bring witnesses for their defense. 13. They do not use torture to extract information or for punishment. 14. They do not practice cannibalism. 15. Their religious systems include ethical elements and are not purely or grossly superstitious. 16. They use a script (not simply a succession of pictures) to communicate ideas. 17. There is some facility in the abstract use of numbers, without consideration of actual objects (or, in other words, at least a start has been made in mathematics). 18. A calendar is in use, accurate to within a few days in the year. 19. Arrangements are made for the instruction of the young in intellectual subjects. 20. There is some appreciation of the fine arts. 21. Knowledge and understanding are valued as ends in themselves.[/qb][/QUOTE]As an aside, I can name a leading political party in the US that would qualify as "uncivilized" by virtue of #13. Many of them wouldn't care much for #15 and #21 either. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
