That's technically as easy as:

@Html.DropDownList("FieldName", Model.civility.Select(m => new SelectListItem { Value = m, Text = m }));

You'll end up with something akin to:

<select id="FieldName" name="FieldName">
    <option value="CivilityItem1">CivilityItem1</option>
    ...
</select>

If you want it tied to an actual property on your model (you'll need to add the property to your model first)

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedCivility, Model.civility.Select(m => new SelectListItem { Value = m, Text = m }))
