A definition of primitive is “relating to human society at a very early stage of development, with people living in a simple way without machines or a writing system:” (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/primitive)
One definition of civilized is “having a high state of culture and social development.” (Collins English Dictionary)

Contrastingly, the Europeans who enslaved, took the resources of, and exterminated the 1st settlers due to better weapons and their diseases, are considered as being civilized. Is this valid? Why or why not?
