Help please - civil society

Hey,

I have an assignment due really soon and I wanted some help on how I should approach it?

The question is

In what ways, and to what extent, does civil society enhance democracy?


I need some kind of plan, I know I need to say that it does enhance democracy and then how it does.
Then to say that it doesnt and why, but I don't know why?

Also, should I structure it like this?


Intro
Thesis
Reason why it does - explain, example and then counter that argument?
x 3-4 paragraphs on why it does ( but end it with a counter or the opposite way around, depending on my decision of it)
conclusion

Or
Intro
Thesis
Reasons why it does enhance democracy x 2
then
Reasons why it doesn't enhance democracy x 2
Conclusion and choose a point?

^^^^^^^^^^ this plan seems more simplistic and doesn't allow me to be analytical and counter?


I'm just lost...
