Answer 1

Civil society institutions interact with the governmental sphere through legal governance. In this case, the person recognizing the high incidence of police shootings involving minorities forms a civil society group and lobbies the state government to change the training requirements for new police officers. This interaction with the governmental sphere aims to address a public concern and contribute to the public good by advocating for policies that can potentially reduce police violence and protect minority communities. The change in training requirements can help improve police accountability, reduce incidents of unnecessary force, and promote safer interactions between the police and minority populations. Therefore, civil society institutions in this case are working through legal governance channels to address a social issue and contribute to the public good.
