As we have seen trust is a strategy to deal with the uncertainties in everyday life. On the vertical level, a society in which there is sufficient trust, people can cooperate, develop themselves and the things they care about (for example they can start a company or become a volunteer in their neighbourhood). In a society where there is trust among citizens, it is more likely people feel secure; moreover they rate their well being higher. When people trust each other interaction runs smooth.
Why is trust important to society?
