imo the type of government, the standard of living, the
science and technology, education for every member of the
society, constant innovation, a society with an attitude for
individualism and inventiveness, literature an MOST importantly
heavy investment in military. great civilisations have fallen prey
to barbaric races because they adopted a peaceful attitude or they
felt a lack of interest in conquering other lands e.g sumerians,
elamites and indus people.
err... what a strange place to pose a history question. :/
what do you mean by "civilisations" leh? isn't it just a
convenient word tt historians use to write
abt pple who actually have different cultures?
if u can convince me tt there is such a thing as
a homogenous civilisation, i will answer ur question.
