Abstract

Amartya Sen´s capacity has an impact on the duties and responsibilities of human beings since it implicitly contains the power to show asymmetries of various social nature, for example: natural resources, animals, situation of exclusion, vulnerability, democracy, among others. Consequently, the capacity can be understood from a way of being it allows it to adequately perform its function and know the impact with the context of the person. The concept of capacity offers a much broader possibility of understanding democracy, that is, thinking about it and exercising it from this perspective.
