In a family life he will give due respect to opinions of his wife and children regarding their life and career.Scientific temper and rationalism:- a democratic person will not be influenced by superstitious beliefs and customs. He will apply and promote habits of rational thinking, which applies reason to make judgements and formulate opinions.Secularism: It is one of the most important pillars of democracy. A democratic person will respect all religions and will not be influenced by divisive propaganda and things aimed to create il -will and hatred among people in the name of religion.A person who applies democratic principles in his own life will not only follow but also spread ideas of rationality, scientific temper, equality, freedom and secularism. He will act in his personal capacity to create a harmonious society which guarantees dignity of all.hi friend 

The democracy in its political form demands popular sovereignty i.e. a government elected by the people, based on universal adult frenchise. Constituinalism, the rule of law, seperation of the powers among various organs of the government and secularism are the basic tenets of democracy.

The application of cardinal principles of the democracy in personal and social sphere demands that decisions should be taken on the basis of consultation and partcipation in the decision making process of all those who are going to be affected by that decision. Thus, in a factory if the decision on wages is to be taken it must include all stakeholders such as management and workers.

This is how we can apply principles of democracy in our lives:-

Dignity of individual: Democracy is based on the firm belief that every human being is an end in itself. In his personal life a person must abide by this basic principle. It involves compassion, empathy and solidarity with the people of his nation and the world.
