What does be civil mean?

To "civilize" is to make civil. The word derives from the Latin word for city. When people began to settle in cities, they needed to adopt new behaviours in order to get along with so many people in such a small space. Such behaviour was "civil", or suitable for the city. It is reasonable to consider that the start of civilization, or city-dwelling, came when agriculture developed to the point where one farmer could feed many people, instead of everyone spending all his or her time finding food for himself or herself. Once people developed the cultivation of grains (wheat, barley, rice, maize) a city could be fed by a few farmers living nearby. For example if you were sitting at the dinner table and your mother said " can you eat like a civilized human being?" that means that you shouldn't shove food in your mouth or chew with your mouth open. You need to do the exact opposite. Being civilized in this case means acting in the socially acceptable way.
