In order to understand what the word CIVIL mean, let’s
take a look at the meaning of the word:
-of or occurring within the state or between or among
citizens of the state (civil affairs, civil rights, civil liberty)
- applying to ordinary citizens as contrasted with the
military
-not rude; marked by satisfactory (or especially minimal)
adherence to social usages and sufficient but not
noteworthy consideration for others (polite, cultured)
The origin of the word Late Middle English, coming from
Old French from the Latin civills, taken from civis "citizen"
By definition of opinion and research:
When we think of CIVIL in the context of the question, one
must attach the political and social aspect to the word, it's
the ensuring of freedom and equal rights of the citizens
regardless of his/her, sex, race or religion. It is established
legal action that governments have created for the
conditions of the citizens of that country. On the flip side of
Civil Rights you have Civil Liberties which are the
protection of citizens against government actions, which
include freedom from torture, freedom of press, freedom
of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech,
freedom of expression, equal treatment under the law and
due process and the right to a fair trial. These vary from
country to country but one thing that happens always is,
civil rights and civil liberties interchange with one another,
at times pitting one against the other when it comes to
justice for all citizens. Ask yourself..How well do I know my
rights as a citizen, and do I fully understand how it impacts
the way of LIFE! Sade3757
