The civilizing process, as outlined by sociologist Norbert Elias, is a long-term historical process that spans several centuries, beginning around the late Middle Ages and continuing through the Enlightenment into the modern era. It is characterized by increasing social constraints on individual behavior and the internalization of norms and self-control.

Another name for "white man's burden" was "civilizing mission."

Civilization is the process of civilizing or becoming civil. A civilized society is often characterized by advanced agriculture, long-distance trade, occupational specialization, and urbanism.
