Developing

Well understood, democracy should not even be the "majority rule", if that means that the interests of minorities are completely ignored. Democracy, at least in theory, is the government on behalf of the entire people, according to their "will". In addition, according to the United Nations, "democracy is a universal value based on freely expressed freedom of the people to determine their political, economic, social, and cultural systems, and their full participation in all aspects of their life". It can be said that democracy is a form of coexistence in which family members are free and equal.

According to Macionis and Plummer Sociology professors, the family is a social institution that groups individuals in cooperative groups responsible for having and caring for children. These social units are based on kinship that is a social link defined by the blood relationship, marriage or adoption.

This means that spouses, children or cousins are relatives. But also the adopted child despite there is no consanguineous relationship. According to Anay Valladares Lic. In Psychology, González, the family is the oldest of human social institutions, is the primary degree of ascription. 

It is an open system, that is, a set of elements linked to each other by rules of behavior and by dynamic functions in constant internal interaction and exterior. The family is an institution formed by individual systems that interact and that constitute an open system. It is formed by individuals, it is also part of the social system and responds to their culture, traditions, economic development, convictions, ethical-moral, political and religious conceptions. The family is considered the fundamental core of society, formed by individuals who relate and form open interactions with the members of the same.

This differs from isolation, which is the separation of people suffering from a contagious disease, from those who are healthy.

Both measures are public health strategies that aim to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Due to this quarantine and when living together, families must take into account a series of democratic values such as equality, equity and participation to avoid conflicts between their members. Equality, concept, types, discrimination and equity. The word equality means, according to the Royal Spanish Academy, the principle that recognizes the equalization of all citizens in rights and obligations. This means that, before the law, all citizens would have to be the same and measured with the same rod.

So that we all have the same opportunities to receive rewards, or to be punished for our misconduct. The word equity comes from the Latin aequĭtas. This term is associated with equal values and justice. Equity aims to encourage equality, above the differences in sex, culture, the economic sectors to which it belongs, etc. It is for this reason that it is usually related to social justice, since it supports the same conditions and opportunities for all people, only adjusting in particular cases. That is, in order for equity to be real, the norm in general to all individuals cannot be applied.

Certain exceptions must be followed for each particular case. In addition, each person must have the ability to assert their rights, regardless of their origin. Equity fights poverty, discrimination, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, among others.
