Human Rights vs Civil Rights

In our world, I would say that there is a difference between Human Rights and Civil Rights. To start off with, Human Rights are those in which are already there with you just because of the fact that you are part of the human race. On the other hand, Civil Rights are rights that protect you because of your citizenship in one country. I feel as though Civil Rights exists to fulfill the betterment of society in order for us to have strict guidelines upon what we can and cannot do, thus able to separate right from wrong. In our case, we have the U.S. Constitution to protect us from free speech, discrimination, equal protection, etc. Here in the United States, I would like to believe that both human rights and civil rights are two aspects in which we do a good job of following. However, in example, Mexico has a very corrupt government in the way that they have attempted to follow their human rights, but have failed over and over. It’s led to many deaths, so many that it has became a norm in their society to witness such horrific incidences. I have came to a conclusion that human rights and civil rights are different, yet they come to meet the same end-goal, which is to serve the people of this nation for the better.

I am currently a freshman Kin student at CSUN while also being involved in a fraternity on campus, Sigma Phi Epsilon. I'm from Compton, CA and I'm the eldest of 3 with one more on the way. I went to Chadwick School in Palos Verdes, CA. For fun I enjoy playing soccer, running, or going for a work out. I played soccer for 15 years and I ran track/cross country in high school. I'm looking forward to playing soccer in the IM's league here on campus for my fraternity, yet my main goal for this semester is to join the actual CSUN soccer team. For now though, I spend my time being physically active and making sure I get my studies down.
