Recently, one 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 far from familiar to everyone, they don’t really know what to form. Let's look at what his distinguishing features are.
Civil society is when a person is the highest value, he has freedom and certain rights. At the same time, the country's government is making every effort for the stable development of the economy, there is political freedom (which is under the control of the public), there is justice.
The concept of "civil society" includes several features:
- an individual is independent of the state;
- there is private property;
- a diversified economy;
- there is no state monopoly on the media;
- a person chooses the path of implementation for himself;
- in society there are various social groups with their own interests;
- the company is self-governing;
- the state has no ideology;
- the rights and freedoms of the individual that are protected by the state are recognized;
- Everyone has the right to freely express their political views.
Civil society is a kind of structure in the state. It consists of:
- non-governmental socio-economic relations;
- completely independent from the government of entrepreneurs and manufacturers;
- public organizations and associations;
- various movements and parties;
- non-governmental media.
That’s what civil society is, everyone’s definition can be formed, but the essence will not change.
The essence of human society is determined by what is not represented by ordinary individuals, but systematized by relationships that bring people together.
Civil society is an association 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 originally arose in philosophy. Hobs T. introduced a new civil society system. It was in the 17th 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 changes and becomes whole. Philosophers of the “new time” Kant I., Locke D. and others said something like this: “Union of individuals, where team members acquire the highest qualities of man.”
The main principles of civil society are the collective, the individual and the government. It contains a constant movement, all kinds of changes, self-improvement. Transition from less developed to more perfect.
Mutual understanding is the main problem of the state and society. Civil society is the education of the masses of people that takes shape outside the boundaries 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 strengthens the organization of society itself.
