All these points include along with theimpact of gender discrimination and social problems and significance of Marshall Theory insocial perspective. The essay also consists with contemporary citizenship and their issues toevaluate the nature of Citizenship.In this proposed essay citizenship and Civil and social rightshave been discussed. All those rights are concerned with certain behaviours and legal aspect thusgender inequality economic balancing are the important facet in this research process.Importance of citizenship and their connecting activity is the concern mention in this essay.Definition of Citizenship Citizenship defined by the Marshall is the accumulation of social responsibilities thatpeople have to do for the sustainable implementation of their existing nature. There are someeconomic welfare securities or the conservation of heritage sites or maybe the civilizedprevailing natures of the people are the important role for the citizens (Bulmer and Rees 2016).Marshall has divided the citizenship intro three elements like Civil, Political, and Social. For theliberty of a person and their existence in the society is the primary intention of peoples' living,thus the rights of individual freedom are imposed in that situation for the development of thestage of living. A clear growth and right have imposed in the seventeenth century in England forthe general equity of citizenship (Sartori 2016). As stated by Marshall’s “This demographic or

3universal, characters of the status arose naturally form the fact that it was essentially the statusof freedom, and in the seventeenth-century England all men were free” (Marshall and Bottomore1992). Here Marshall has emphasized over the scenario and explaining the need for the peopleso that they can sustain in this situation and can know about the parameters of their duties andvalues for the society. Civil RightsCivil rights are important phase in the society and that encompasses three individualdeliverances for the people. Liberty of a person, Thought, and faiths and Freedom of speechthese three elements are the major civil rights that persons should have in the society for theirexistence. There are certain laws and legislation also to protect their justice and values.

Marshall has stated the evolution of rights and explained the way those wereimplemented in England. The civil rights are mainly consisted of the Eighteenth century andelaborate the perspectives of the people so that they can use their civil rights that government hasgiven to them (Marshall 1950). Political RightsAll the political rights are implemented for the safety of people and provide them thesecurity that concerned with the rights to citizenship. Citizenship and their adjacent politicalverses are inter connected as people has to support certain particular political rights and to beliefthat rights for the development of the social and infrastructural system in nation.Such politicalrights areconnected with parliamentary legislation and these have represented 19th and 20thcenturies of political experiences. The political feature is one of the important features of the

4nineteenth century and that principle of has not been understood until 1918.
