Summary/Abstract: The family is a key segment of every society and, by virtue of its quality, largely determines the quality of the social community in all its aspects and as a whole. With its synergistic effect, a quality family enriches society from a humanistic, economic as well as political point of view. Today, at the heart of modern society is the pursuit of democratization, in whose discourse man and his rights have been implemented through the entity of the family and its democratic rights through the entity of the wider community. This naturally defined cause-and-effect relationship between family and society raises the problematic question of the extent to which a higher level of quality of personal and family values can contribute to a greater democratization of society as a whole. The paper posits the main hypothesis that „raising personal and family values in the local community can significantly influence the level of democratization in society“. Achieving a higher degree of democratization of society is conditioned, among other things, by its economic, political and social development, which explicitly affects the development of the family in society in all aspects of its value. This unbreakable blend of family development through social development and vice versa is a key intermediate to achieving a higher, higher-quality level of democratization.
