How are civilized groups different from barbarians?

The difference ebetween being civilized and uncivilized is manners. A civilized person would grow up in a nice home and be taught to do "appropriate" things and behave "human". As of being uncivilized though is that you would have grown up in a poor family, have no famous or rich person in your family, or have any way of life other than being yourself. These varied as different because civilized people went to the trouble of ignoring uncivilized people while uncivilized people didn't care.


Where did the barbarians settle?

Barbarian was a word coined by the Greeks to describe non-Hellenic (non-Greek-speaking) peoples. It allegedly came from a saying that they could not understand them - their words sounded like 'bar-bar'.So barbarians were anyone who did not speak Greek and adopt Greek culture. It has entered English as a word for people of uncouth and unruly behaviour.


Why were the barbarians called germanic tribes?

That the Romans and Greeks called all foreigners barbarians is a misconception. The Romans used the names of the peoples who they considered uncivilized, and only termed them barbarians if they did not know them or if they were exceptionally primitive. The Greeks, on the other hand, called all people who were not Greek, barbarians. This was not a "put down" of other cultures, it was simply a Greek term for anyone who was a non-Greek.
