What is civil society?

A lot is said today about civil society.Who is talking about him? Yes, all and sundry: politicians during their agitation, representatives of the opposition, assuring that in our country everything is not at all the way it should have been, various modern figures and so on.

Не нужно думать, что гражданское общество – это a society whose representatives are citizens, because in reality it is something big. In fact, it is a sphere of self-government, founded by citizens, which appeared by itself, that is, without interference from state bodies.

Civil society concept

If you understand what they say from the screensTVs are our rulers, it can be concluded that they are seriously thinking about creating such a society. Yes, it exists in many countries: why should Russia be an exception?

They say a lot about him, but the problem was both, andIt remains that not everyone understands what is at stake. Like many years ago, the first persons of the country cannot really explain anything. What is civil society and why is it necessary to build it at all? Let's try to figure it out together. It has special distinguishing features that need to be considered separately.

Civil society is a society in whichthe rights of not only privileged persons, but also of all others are respected. It is often said that we are all equal, but is it really so? Look around: the rich take the poor for working livestock, unable to think or show any feelings, those people who get their hands on power start to think only about their future enrichment, and they don’t care about the problems of everyone else.

Resources are allocated incorrectly. Because of this, it turns out that people are unequal. Infringement of rights is still commonplace.

Civil society is characterized andperformance of private interests. How to understand this? The fact is that we live in a state that we must obey. Yes, submission is necessary, but the state cannot and should not have complete power over the citizens, just like the rights to interfere in people's thoughts, impose their ideas on them, decide for them something.

Civil society has such a basis aspluralism. By it, it is customary to understand something like poly-mystery. The point is that you need to properly treat the fact that the opinion of someone may not coincide with your own opinion. Civil society members respect each other’s views.

The infringement of someone due to their financial status, level of education, nationality, and all that is unacceptable.

Очень важен и такой признак гражданского society like self-government. People should be able to realize what they think. What is the use of great ideas if no one ever tries to bring them to life? They shout from all sides that we live in a democratic society. What is democracy? This is people's governance, this is when questions concerning the future of a country are decided not by individuals, but by all people together.

Note that self-government is developed today, but it is not developed as we would like. Most people still do not understand how to influence the people in power.

Civil society is associated with economicwell-being. There should be no gap between the poor and the rich. A person retiring should know that he will have the opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved rest, and teachers and doctors, getting a job, should feel that the salary will be equal to the significance of their work.

Is civil society possible in modern Russia? Difficult question, since the situation in our country is still not the best, and politicians are able to think only about themselves.
