What are civil rights?
Civil rights are the basic rights for anyone in a country, these can be as basic as the right to education, the right of a country to be fair, the right for everyone to use public services, and the right to use public facilities. Civil rights are a common part of democracy; when people are being stopped to do certain opportunities or participate in the community, they are being sustained to follow their civil rights. Civil rights are freedoms that are made by putting restrictions by the government, civil rights are achieved by good government action. Civil rights laws try to secure equality for people who have been discriminated against based on some physical characteristics. When civil rights are found to be ineffective, a civil rights movement may happen as a wake-up call for equal treatment without discrimination.
How does equality affect society?
The equality effect can happen as a good thing. In more equal countries, human beings are happier and healthier there is less crime, more happiness, and higher educational success. The advantages of living more equal lives are now so good that it will soon start to change places all over the world
*But we also have short memories. We forget that not long ago people had argued over women being allowed to vote or whole countries having their freedom. So we often fail to ask what we are doing today that will be regarded as bad news in the future*
Civil right movements
The civil rights movement was a gathering for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to have equal rights under the law in the United States. The Civil War had formally stopped slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against Black people—they continued to live with racism. By the mid-20th century, Black Americans had more than enough people discriminating against them and holding and violence against them. They, along with many white Americans, came together and started a fight for equality that lasted for over two decades.
Conclusion
In conclusion, not everyone had decided to treat African-Americans fairly due to their personal beliefs. Furthermore many countries are still not treating each gender with respect but in the end, the majority of people are starting to respect every color and everyone for the way they are. They are just a few people who think that because of someone's color, gender, and physical attributes, it displays their entire personality.
