Can someone please explain to me, "What is meant by Civilization? How many civilizations are there? What are their characteristics?"

An advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping, including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions.

I can only answer your first question, as it is virtually impossible to know how many civilisations there are out there (are we or are we not including the alien ones?), and all civilsations differ from each other, so characteristics will be different.
Civilisation can mean one of two things essentially. The most common use of the word refers to any cohesive group of people who share essentially the same social characteristics, which are normally defined by social attitudes, but also by level of education, technology, religion and other factors.
As for the other use of the word, it is best summarised by quoting Mahatma Gandhi when once interviewed by a Western journalist:
Journalist: "Mr Gandhi, what do you think of Western civilisation?"
Gandhi: "I think it would be a good idea."
He was taking the word "civilisation" a bit more literally than the journalist intended him to, as you can see!

What is meant by Civilization , very simple ,
First Create a reason , then start carpet bombings in Afghanistan and Iraq ,
But it is not all , The Civilized nation should even Nuke Iran and Pakistan ,
A civilized nation can easily creat reasons for their "show of fire power"
