Public Trust

Me: Mr. Edelman, I have a few questions for you. When did you start the trust barometer?
Mr. Edelman: I started the trust barometer in 2001
Me: What was your purpose behind the trust barometer?
Mr. Edelman: I started this trust barometer after our economy started to decline and we were on the brink of a financial collapse and had many trust violations in our country from corporations and CEO’s. The barometer shows the statistics worldwide and it goes to show for this year that the US is dropping very low.
Me: Do you see the US climbing back to the top of the charts anytime soon?
Mr. Edelman: Absolutely, I believe the US will Gradually climb up towards the top of the statistics! The trust barometer is getting much needed attention and I think that more businesses are taking my key points and pointing them into play with their businesses and institutions.

    This quote shows how many people trust each other in America which reminds me of 1984. The USA Today states “these days, only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted.” This gave me insight that Orwell's warning is doing good. That most Americans don't trust everybody and are cautious before they trust people. This made me think about trust and what it takes for people to truly trust someone. Trust is one of the main topics in 1984 and is still current in our world today.…

    The United States is still managing to continue on its downward spiral as far as the economy goes. Actually, it is more like a rollercoaster with small hills. We will appear to be getting better or see the light at the end of the tunnel, but then we drop again. We are also becoming less and less competitive. In 2008, before Obama took office, we ranked first in the Global Competitive Index. For the fourth year in a row now, we have ranked below that, last year coming in fifth and this year, in seventh. It is said to be attributed to the lack of trust in our government and in our politicians. It is also because of our large debt. We continue to borrow trillions of dollars a year.…
