the difference between men and animal lies in men's ability to think. the remoteness between civilization and barbarism is created by the respect for the meaning of life. the human race had been struggling for long in barbarism and ignorance before it took the prompt step toward democracy and humanity a few thousand years ago.

why human being is different from animal is that human being is able to think。why civilization is far away from wildness is for the respect of life’s meaning. And the human's civilization had struggled for a very long time in the wildness and innocence, but is able to walk towards democracy and humanity in recent thousands of years rapidly.
