This control is not solely the result of individual self-regulation but also relies on external factors such as law, custom, and religion. In this development, civilization builds upon the foundations laid by barbarism, transforming instinctive controls into more systematic ones.</p> <p><strong>Context</strong> The emergence of civilization was a gradual process that spanned thousands of years.
