1. What is trust? It could be a feeling or
a cause or effect by definition trust is a firm belief in reliability, truth
and ability of strength of someone or something but can we define trust on a
piece of paper actually Trust is a complicated concept, and the word is
overloaded with many meanings.
2. Trust is essential for society to
function our civilization would collapse completely without it and the fact is
that we don’t think about how trust is essential for society and how it is
acting as a backbone of our society
3. There a personal and intimate type of
trust. When we say that we trust a friend, or a sibling, we are talking less
about their specific actions and more about the person
4. Our trust in another individual can
be grounded in our evaluation of his/her ability, integrity, and benevolence.
That is, the more we observe these characteristics in another person, our level
of trust in that person is likely to grow.
. And in a society we need to trust not
only people, but institutions and systems also. For example It not so much that we trusted the particular
pilot, but it’s the airline that we trust that produces well-trained and
well-rested pilots according to some schedule Similarly, when we deposit our money in a bank it’s an
another interesting exercise of trust it less that we trusted that particular
person or bank and but actually we trusted the national banking system and we
know our money is safe in the bank because we trust national banking system
6. When we get into the taxicab, we
don’t know the driver intentions. We don’t know him as a person he could have
been a bank robber by night or a terrorist. But people trust him, for the specific interaction of taxi driver and
passenger that he would behave in a trustworthy manner. And taxi driver
trust the passenger to do the same. This is a much more limited form of trust.
Maybe it’s more confidence than trust,
and maybe the driver actions are more like compliance
than trustworthiness, but it the type of trust that makes society function. I
like to call this sort of trust cooperation
7. Even the law is a blunt instrument
that cannot efficiently produce the kind of social order that comes from the
existence of trusting relations in a group or society
8. The need for trust arises from our
interdependence with others. Some time we depend on other people to help us
obtain the outcomes we value and they rely on us. As our interests with others
are connected, we also must recognize that there is an element of risk involved
in trusting someone as we often encounter situations in which we cannot compel
the cooperation we seek. Therefore, trust can be very valuable in social
interactions.
9. The media can play an important role
in the trust building process and media should play its part by using news
reporting as a way to increase the trust factor in society media can create and
report stories, which build trust by featuring common identities and showing
positive side of society
And in the end I will think that
success and the failure society has lot to with trust
