Civil society

CIVIL SOCIETY: Watchdog, whistle blower?
Yes, the dog is described as the best animal friend to man, its owner. And the one with the whistle is either a master on duty in school or commander to the force. But when it comes to to describing one of the roles of civil society as watch dog/whistle blower it makes me very uncomfortable, we would rather describe this role as “Value Promoter”. This draws much more respect for this role in society. What is your opinion?
