When we talk about fighting, it usually refers to taking a stand and defending something. It could be a cause, a belief, an idea, or a person. However, there are various other words that can be used outside of the usual "fight for". One could "champion" a cause, "promote" an idea, "support" a belief or "uphold" a value. One could also "struggle" for a right, "battle" for a just cause or "defend" a principle. Other synonyms include "protect", "work towards", "argue for", "crusade", "advocate", and "stand up for". The language we use has the power to impact how we view ourselves and how others perceive us, and using the right words to describe our actions can make all the difference.
