Fukuyama's Views On Social Trust

Trust is a feeling or emotion that comes to a person over time. It can be a privilege that can be earned through actions. In one such book, called Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes trust occurs in parts of the story. But there is also abuse and betrayal. While reading this novel it gave me a point of view on the pain most of the characters were experiencing.

“Trust takes years to build, seconds to destroy, and a lifetime to repair”. This quote means a lot to me and is very precedent in the novel A Long Way Gone. Trust is almost as powerful as love. Ismael is not trusted by many of the other villagers and after he is done with being a soldier he has a hard time trusting people.

1. Describe anticipatory empathy in your own words. In what situations have you made use of this skill before? How would you describe the relationship between anticipatory empathy and social justice work?

But looking more closely, the message developes more into the theme that trust is earned not given. In Roald Dahl’s short story “The landlady” Billy Weaver finds the landlady who offerers him to stay at her bed and breakfast for half of what he had been willing to pay. This sentence right there tells it all it. If he had not trusted the vague lady he would not be in the situation he is currently in. Trust was the difference maker for

Trust being the most important of these elements, but trust like respect cannot be demanded; it had to be earned. (Pullen and Mathias, 2010). Throughout this activity, I have been able to put

Trust is very important in relationships. It is the basis for relationships. It influences what you think about others. When just beginning a relationship there is a lot of initial trust. In The Great Gatsby the beginning tells of Gatsby, and how he is shrouded in mystery and gossip.

William’s play A Streetcar Named Desire presents a variety of perspectives on relationships, especially addressing the idea that bonds which aren’t bound by trust, loyalty and lust in an even balance will inevitably fail. Tennessee Williams uses the interaction between his characters, predominantly Blanche, Mitch, Stella and Stanley; to express a variety of ideas regarding relationships. These connections can be witnessed in scenes 2, 3, 6 and 11, through the use of stage directions, dialogue and expressionism to display different perspectives of character interaction. Trust acts as the foundation to any relationship, establishing a strong link between individuals and without it, the connection will eventually disintegrate.

Trust is what makes the world go round. Without trust, people wouldn’t know how to live. Sometimes trust can cause a person’s downfall. In Macbeth, trust fools plenty of citizens in Scotland. Although some people may become skeptical too quickly, people should be careful who they trust because people can have bad intentions and betray each other no matter what.

To begin the close-knit community, the individual needs to have connections in the larger part of society because “it is difficult to begin without borrowing,” so “perhaps it is the most generous course thus to permit your fellow-men to have an interest in your enterprise” (Thoreau 288). Thus, the individual might consider letting those who help him join the community and aid in his work. Unfortunately, the benefits of a society and a community do not apply equally to all because “if some have the pleasure of riding on a rail, others have the misfortune to be ridden upon” (Thoreau 294). Thus, an individual should be wary of who he allows to ally with him because those people will be the passengers upon his back. While the individual innovates and improves himself, the community profits off of the work of the individual.

Picture this; an individual is walking into a place that they have never been before. They are expected to work miracles and teach somebody who is blind, deaf, and mute. There is a family relying on them to be able to teach their disabled daughter. This person is wondering how this can even be possible. The answer: trust.

Webster’s dictionary define trust as “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, a strength of someone or something. As I read this story this word continues to come to my mind in The Wife of Bath not so trustworthy. To me it doesn’t seem as though she being truth about anything. In Geofrey Chaucer short story “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue” the main theme is how this one woman says she loves and take control over her husbands.

Themes of Social Capital Onyx and Bullen (2000) have identified five themes most commonly used by the ones familiar with this concept. The first is that social capital refers to networks: that is, lateral associations that vary in density and occur among both individuals and groups. The second is that social capital is based on reciprocity, defined as the expectation that in the long or short term, kindness and services will be returned. The third term pertains to trust, people are willing to take risks in a social context based on the belief that the others will respond as expected. The fourth theme is that social capital is based on social norms, the unwritten shared values that direct behavior and interaction.

This was first criticized by Citrin (1974, .et al) on the analysis of Miller (1974) that this is only the measure of support for the incumbents not for the political system and if the support for incumbents is the measurement of trust then this is not a threat to the regime because the incumbents can be replaced by the power of vote. Trust is a simple concept and can be measured by the method of survey questionnaire. All the debates between scholars and conclusion of empirical searches consequence is that the people show trust when the institutes are working properly, economy is booming, crime is low and the property of people is safe. Political trust is most of the time was measured by the performance of government and behavior of the

To lessen political tension, there must be trust between members of society in order to create a community where people can rely on each other and overcome the clash of dissonant politics. For centuries, politics has been creating

The concepts of risk and risk perception are clearly defined as opposed to the concept of trust. According to Hansson (2004) risk is defined as the probability of future but not certain harm or the expected disutility of such harm. Risk perception is the mental representation of a risk, as realized in emotions such as fear and in cognitive states such as prediction. The definition of trust is more troublesome and can be interpreted through the research in social sciences such as psychology, sociology, management studies, philosophy, economics and political science. Nickel & Vaesen (2102) defines trust as “a disposition willingly to rely on another person or entity to perform actions that benefit or protect oneself or one’s interests in a given domain” (Nickel & Vaesen,
