Read the textbook, "World History, Our Human Story" page 90. In this book, there is a small passage that says,
"Some periods of civilization are considered "classical". These are times when a society makes extraordinary achievements in art, science, religion, philosophy, and politics. Classical ages often exert a strong influence over later generations.
The classical periods of the two great Asian civilizations of India and China gave rise to influential religions and philosophical systems- Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. In India, advances in mathematics and astronomy furthered understanding of the way the world works. Both civilizations (India and China) produced artistic and literary works that served as models for hundreds of years and are still studied and admired today.
Please do not copy this word for word, since this is in a textbook that you should have looked over to help figure out the answer. Good luck to you :D

Answer:
A civil society consists of citizens and groups in the public arena working outside the government such as NGO's, non profit groups and voluntary sectors.
The civil society aims to represent the interest of those who find it difficult to articulate and those whose voices are ignored and excluded. The civil society gets involved in the sense that they either contest the power of the state or come up with alternate ways of policy formation and provision of service (remember they play a very important role in policy formation).
Some civil society organizations primarily exist to aid the government to aid its delivery system by mobilizing people. Collaboration between a state and a civil society happens only when both sides are involved in all phases of the process of policy making, implementation and evolution. At formal level, they may take the form of advisory bodies and various forms of councils. However, at the informal level, it implies opening up of government activities to non-governmental actors through frequent interactions.
