| dc.description.abstract | It is hard to imagine a society functioning in the absence of trust. From the smallest incident—crossing
the street when the light is green—to the most consequential events—a government fulfilling its pledge
to pay Social Security—individuals must be able to rely on individuals and institutions to behave in a reliable
and trustworthy manner. When trust is absent, chaos ensues. Of course, trust should not be given
blindly; authentic trust needs to be earned and renewed (Fukuyama, 1995; Putnam, 2000). | en_US |
