A civil right is a right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury. Examples of civil rights are freedom of speech, press, and assembly; the right to vote; freedom from involuntary servitude; and the right to be equal in public places. Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Many jurisdictions have enacted places to prevent discrimination based on a person's race, sex, religion, age,physical limitation, and national origin.

Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight?
