What is the future of civil rights? Like a living thing, discrimination evolves, adapting to its time. As discrimination becomes more individualized, as difference becomes more pronounced, we need a civil rights that is attuned to the way identity is performed today. Outsiders: Why Difference Is the Future of Civil Rights is filled with stories that demand attention, stories of people whose search for identity has cast them to the margins. Their stories reveal that we need to refresh our vision of civil rights. Instead of dealing in protected traits, civil rights law should take its cue from religious discrimination law. What we need is a right to personality. The critical question driving equality law should be whether there is space to accommodate a person’s identity. Outsiders: Why Difference Is the Future of Civil Rights seeks to change the way we think about identity, equality, and discrimination. It argues that difference, not sameness, should be the cornerstone of civil rights. Mixing doctrine and theory, art, and personal narrative, Outsiders: Why Difference Is the Future of Civil Rights argues for a civil rights for everyone. Being different is universal. We are all outsiders.

Are the pious loved by the gods because they are pious, or are they pious because they are loved by the gods?” In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Professor Adamson and the narrator discuss Euthyphro’s dilemma. The narrator is invited by her professor to follow her into the woods and to meet a reclusive revolutionary leader. The professor, and the revolutionary group, want to overthrow the government because voting rights, and other civil rights, have been severely restricted by the government. The legal ability to change the government through voting is a “near impossibility.” On her way to meet the leader, the narrator meets an angel who informs her that the future revolution will fail, and many will be hurt in the process. The angel tells the narrator she must kill her professor to help humanity. The narrator is unsure what to do and, during their walk, discusses the dilemma she is in; a practical application of Euthyphro’s dilemma. The story ends in the final moment, knife in hand, when the narrator is about to decide what she will do.

The Future

This study presents a comprehensive assessment of what Millennials think about U.S. correctional policy. Using a 2017 national-level sample ( N = 1,000), Millennials’ correctional policy opinions across 13 outcomes are assessed and compared to the views of other generations. The main findings are twofold. First, Millennials are only modestly punitive but clearly supportive of progressive policies. Thus, Millennials favor a rehabilitative correctional orientation, believe in offender redeemability, and prefer policies to protect ex-felons’ civil rights and to expunge criminal records for minor offenses. Second, generational differences in public support for correctional policies are mostly limited. Americans of all generations tend to endorse inclusionary policies—a finding indicating that the future of American corrections might see a lengthy era of progressive reform.

Legal Consequences

Recognition of the legal status of children outside of marriage is regulated in Article 280 of the Civil Code and Islamic Law does not recognize the recognition of children outside of marriage which is regulated in Article 100 of the Compilation of Islamic Law, so that the legal consequences that arise later are different. A child outside of marriage is a child born to his parents without a legal marriage between the father and mother. Therefore, the child does not have the status or position in law as a legitimate child. This type of research conducted by the author is Empirical Juridical Research, namely research by studying, investigating and studying according to what has been determined by the applicable regulations and real facts that occur in the community with the aim to learn and find data and real events that actually happened, with use the legal approach and case approach. In the results of this research and discussion it is explained that in Positive Law a child outside of marriage can be ratified by a confession, whereas in Islamic Law there is no recognition. Recognition of children outside of marriage in Positive Law raises the result of the endorsement and the resulting relationship with the legal consequences. Whereas in Islamic Law the law of an out-of-wedlock child is not entitled to obtain lineage relationship, livelihood, inheritance rights and others from his biological father because it only has a lineage relationship with his mother and his mother's family, but if the biological father wants to give part of his property, this can be done through a will. Related to the difference between the recognition of Positive Law and Islamic Law, it is considered necessary to pay attention, because of the importance of recognition of children outside of marriage, which results in civil rights in the future. Then later the child outside of marriage also gets the distribution of inheritance (inheritance), guardianship rights and other rights. The government through legislation also needs to pay attention to the management of the inheritance (inheritance) of children outside of marriage so that it becomes an absolute right for children outside of marriage in the future.

The Right

Children’s rights are fundamental in a country. Children are the future generation of a country. They have rights in civil law field. The examples of such rights are the right to have family name, the right to get alimony, and the right to get inheritance from the parents. Indonesian Law Number 1 of 1974 regarding Marriage (Marriage Law) distinguishes the civil rights of legitimate and illegitimate children. In 2010, the Indonesian Constitutional Court produced a decision which became a controversial decision because it was deemed to ‘legalize’ illegitimate child to have the same rights as legitimate child. The reason behind such decision is the human rights which should apply nondiscriminative principle. Some parties disagree with the reasoning behind this decision. They consider the decision unjust and that it violates social and religious norms in giving illegitimate and legitimate children the same rights in spite of the status difference. The author will discuss children’s civil rights based on civil law, human rights, and justice principle in Indonesia.
