From Lugano to La Jolla....what a remarkable amalgam of ideas, insights, and perspectives. Welcome to this site. Mr. Izsa (TASIS) and Mrs. Shaul (LJCDS) invite you to join us in our conversations about the history and the realities of America's history and culture--from a decidedly international perspective.
Each month a new series of questions will be posted here by Mr. Izsa and Mrs. Shaul. Please click on the blog posts and write in your comments for the questions below, per your teacher's instructions.
Please make certain that entries are thoughtfully written (check for typos and grammatical faux pas), as erudite as you can make them, and appropriately worded for a school-related activity (note: students from other parts of the world may not share your same philosophies or your same sense of humor, so please be mindful of our differences).
With every blog session assigned, one or two can be direct responses to the questions, but at least one MUST respond directly to the students who have already written posts, answering one thread per question (more is welcome, this is the minimum requirement).Be specific. Explain why you might agree or disagree with their (his/her) opinions. Feel free to "debate" or "discuss" with your international counterpart. Make sure we can identify you with your name so you can receive credit for your contributions.
I think that Civil Right is the right for every citizen to have freedom to speech, and freedom to live without persecution and without being judged for their skin color or religion.
Civil Rights are the rights for citizens to have the basics needs and also the freedom of expression without any type of discrimination. Isabel - Brazil
I agree with Isabel that Civil Rights are rights for citizens to have the basic needs and also the freedom of expresion without any type of discrimination. This is important to me because it allows citizens to be free to express their own political and social views, without being punished. We as Americans can take this for granted because we don't realize how lucky we are to live in a country that gives Civil Rights, especially since there are still plenty of countries around the world who kill people for going against their ruler's beliefs.
I agree with you in that civil rights seek to protect the individual freedom, but I think they are also meant to protect the people's right to take role in the social and political life of the state.
To me Civil Rights are the personal liberties that belong to every individual. They should be guaranteed to every citizen and protected by the government.
Civil Rights are the rights that any country guarantees it's citizens; whether it's freedom of speech or freedom to carry a weapon (though I don't personally agree with the latter...), these rights are required.
Civil rights are the basic rights afforded to citizens by their government's Constitution and can be enhanced by the implementation of acts and amendments.
I disagree that all people deserve Civil Rights. Plenty of individuals such as criminals or terrorists don't deserve liberty given by Civil Rights. Take for example Breivik who killed more than 69 people in Norway, still deserved a trial although he's guilt is obvious.
I define civil rights as all rights to a citizen of the United States that limit the power of the federal government. Freedom of Religion, speech, right to bear arms, right to vote. The list of rights goes on. Civil rights are the rights that give you freedom and safety.
I agree with you because the main idea of civil rights was to give right to citizens such as freedom of speech, right to bear arms, right to vote. Good explanation
To me, civil right are the rights given to ALL people in the United States, not just the minorities. They are the rights that allow all people to participate in polital, economical and social affairs without being discrimated against are the rights prestented to us in the first ammendment. I belive that everyone is part of a minority weather it be because of ther economic status, their race, their religion, or even their opinions.
Civil rights are rights established by the people to have equality between everyone in the United States, they protect the people and allow the people to have a voice
I define Civil rights very literally. To me Civil means of the people/civilians and rights are what the people/civilians deserve without questions as United States citizens.
