<p>Imagine living in a world where different skin colours are celebrated, where gender is not a controversy, and where disabilities are always respected. Such a world would be one that recognised ‘civil rights’. Civil rights are people’s rights to be equal, regardless of race, religion, gender, and disabilities. In democratic countries, civil rights are also known as “natural rights.” They are called natural rights because many people in these democratic countries believe that fundamentally all humans are born equal. The idea of civil rights is very old. Perhaps one of the first people to write about civil rights was the ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle. He believed that good citizens were citizens who took turns ruling and being ruled. These days, most democratic countries have different versions of civil rights. One of the most famous countries for modern civil rights is America. The Civil Rights Movement was a worldwide movement for equality that started in America and took place from the 1950s through to the 1980s, and continues in some form today.</p> 2009-10-22T23:02:10-04:00 civil-rights 10054412 General Knowledge JNR 2009-10-29T07:35:37-04:00 2009-11-02T03:52:18-05:00 iMinds Pty Ltd jnr, junior Imagine living in a world where different skin colours are celebrated, where gender is not a controversy, and where disabilities are always respected.
