Examples of Human Rights and Civil Rights

There are multiple Human Rights that I could have listed, but there are four particular rights that play an importance in our everyday life. Those being equality, right to trial, right to discrimination, and right to be free from slavery. These are obviously very important for humanity, for we each are entitled to the Human Rights as citizens. On the other hand, we have Civil Rights. I picked three major ones that seemed to be relatable and understandable, those being: protection by the enactment of forced labor, the ability to be provided equal access to health care/education, and then laws protecting us from private discrimination. I find it interesting how both Human Rights and Civil Rights emphasize the importance of not having discrimination in this country. Discrimination definitely still happens, yet it has decreased dramatically over many years. Those were my examples of Human Rights and Civil Rights, yet the two seem so intertwined here in this country that it's difficult to separate the two into strict categories.
