Civil society is the self-determination of the population

Recently, you can often hear that one of the main tasks of the country's leadership is the formation of civil society in the state. Although the very concept of "civil society" is not familiar to everyone, and what to shape, do not really know. Let's look at his distinctive features.

Civil society is when a person is the highest value, he has freedom and certain rights. The government of the country at the same time makes every effort for stable economic development, there is political freedom (under the control of the public), there is justice.

The concept of "civil society" includes several features:

- the individual personality is independent of the state;

- there is private property ;

- multidisciplinary economics;

- there is no state monopoly on the mass media ;

- the person himself chooses the path of realization for himself;

- in society there are various social groups with their own interests;

- society is self-governing;

- the state has no ideology;

- rights and freedoms of the individual are recognized that are protected by the state;

- Everyone has the right to freely express their political views.

Civil society is a peculiar structure in the state. It consists of:

- non-state social and economic relations;

- completely independent from the government of entrepreneurs and producers;

- public organizations and associations;

- various movements and parties;

- non-state mass media.

That 's what civil society is, a definition can each form its own, but the essence will not change.

The essence of human society is determined by what is represented not by ordinary individuals, but is systemized by relations that unite people into one whole.

Civil society is the union of people living in the same territory, where public relations help the realization of private and public interests. The state contributes to this.

The concept of civil society was originally born in philosophy. Gov. T. introduced a new system of civil society. This was in the XVII century. He suggested that society itself arose, moving from a hostile state and fear of death to a cultural society, where citizens are disciplined by the authorities themselves. In this case, the person who develops becomes integral. The philosophers of the "new time" Kant I., Lock D. and others said something like this: "Union of Individuals, where members of the collective acquire the highest qualities of man."

The main principles of civil society are collective, people and power. It contains a constant movement, all kinds of changes, self-improvement. The transition from the less developed to the more perfect.

Mutual understanding is the main problem of the state and society. Civil society is the formation of the masses of people, which is formed outside of state structures, but is included in them, since they are created by citizens. State power, the presence of legal opposition, and so on, are not a structure of civil society, but are a form that consolidates the organization of society itself.
