Examples of Civil Rights<\/h2>\n

Civil rights are enforced by law to protect the freedoms which include the right for people to work, vote, study, live, eat, and stay wherever they choose. Civil rights laws ensure the fair treatment of groups that have traditionally been targets of discrimination (or protected classes).<\/span><\/p>\n

The protected classes have a higher risk of infringing their civil rights, and these people share the following characteristics: age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, pregnancy, familial status, disability, and veteran status. Our government is responsible for protecting its citizens from discrimination in social structures such as employment, education, health care, housing, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Human Rights vs. Civil Rights vs. Civil Liberties<\/h2>\n

Most people often confuse these three concepts. Below we delve deeper and explain these concepts in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Human Rights<\/h3>\n

The United Nations General Assembly signed the <\/span>Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)<\/span><\/a> on the 10th of December 1948. This Declaration was inspired and drafted as the world\u2019s response to the atrocities committed during WWII as an attempt for us to ensure that these atrocities never happen again.<\/span><\/p>\n

As per the UDHR, human rights are guaranteed God-given rights or natural rights that every human being possesses.<\/b> Human rights are divided into seven fundamental principles: Universality, Inalienability, Interdependence and Indivisibility, Accountability, and Non-discrimination and Equality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Civil Rights<\/h3>\n

Civil rights are an extension of human rights and can\u2019t be denied to a citizen by a group, institution, or society. <\/b>However, civil rights are given by the state, as written in the state\u2019s constitution. For this reason, civil rights differ significantly per country. These rights also adapt over time based on the state\u2019s societal trends and changes. Governments determine these rights based on these by either condoning or prohibiting certain civil rights. Nations have the right to choose how they define or respond to civil rights within their borders.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the United States, the <\/span>Civil Rights Movement<\/span><\/a> that started in 1940 brought forth many changes. Below are landmarks in the development and improvement of American civil rights:<\/span><\/p>\n
