Civilizovaný

Civilizovaný is a Czech adjective derived from the noun civilizace, meaning civilization. It translates to "civilized" in English. The term is used to describe a state of social development characterized by organized society, government, culture, and often advanced technology and infrastructure. When applied to people or behavior, it implies politeness, refinement, and adherence to social norms considered appropriate within a given cultural context. It suggests a departure from more primitive or uncultured ways of living. The concept of being "civilized" can be subjective and has evolved throughout history, with different societies and eras holding varying definitions. Historically, the term has sometimes been used in a pejorative manner to distinguish between colonizers and indigenous populations, implying a supposed superiority of the former. In contemporary usage, civilizovaný generally refers to a well-ordered and respectful manner of living and interacting within a community.
