Answer
The'civilizing process' describes how individuals become increasingly self-restrained. Norbert Elias argues that this process is driven by the increasing division of labor and the growth of cities, which leads to greater social interdependence and a decline in violence. As a result, individuals learn to control their emotions and behavior in order to get along with others.
