What Civil Rights Mean

Civil Rights are manners and behaviors best suited for civilization. These rights grant equal social and political treatment. Civil is relating to citizen and their concerns. Rights have a connotation of being good, best or correct. Civil also meaning courteous is just simple politeness. Being capable of agreeing to disagree is an example of civil.

Words and actions are ways to show civil rights. It is a way to maintain positive social interactions. The goal of civil rights is to avoid discrimination. If all citizens are created equal, as the Constitution states, then they should all be given equal means to living. The protection of citizens speech, protection of bodily harm and protection of their beliefs are core rights. These protect our hearts, minds, and souls.

Currently in the United States many of our Civil Rights are not being used or under attack. Much of this problem comes from unawareness. There is an disproportionate amount of equal funding to citizens which in a chain reaction effects social and political treatment. Financially citizens do not have the same means to socialize because basic needs like food, shelter and clothes are usually, well are the first things needed to establish healthy living. Due to disproportion of funding after taking care of basic needs many citizens lack funds to socialize, therefore creating an unbalanced social class.

In turn of making an unbalanced social class, we gain political figures that are not in touch with the community they serve. This then continues the cycle of unfair treatment. However, an aware and informed citizen can continuously use their Civil Rights to help change what is happening in the United States. Civil Rights are behaviors and customary actions of peace and respect. Civil Rights is something citizens use or do not, they cannot be taken away, but other actions can suppress them from being exercised. Any actions suppressing a citizen right is uncivil. It is important for citizens to know how to use their rights and what they are. Basically speaking, they are just behaviors and actions that keep the peace rather you agree or disagree with a situation, Civil Rights are the blueprints how to combat with the situation bad or good. You have the right to be you and express that as long as it is done respectfully and gracefully.
