All things admitted, I know nothing about history and the study of it. So, while I understand there is a just criticism about certain theories of what composes a civilized nation -mainly due to certain centrism on regions, because the term uncivilized is easily used to descredit someone and, therefore, justify actions against them- but I don't get what other conceptions of civilization there might be. Of course, this is a rather subjective question (and once again, I know NOTHING about the topic) but I'd like to learn a bit more about this term.
