One of the hardest things to earn, and easiest to lose is trust. This powerful word is described as a firm belief in the reliability, truth, dependability, or strength of someone or something. In some ways this word is similar to respect because it is not simply given to you or somebody right away, you first have to prove and show your trustworthiness and that you deserve to be trusted and that you are reliable to not break the trust. Many people go through life having trust issues caused by the people who have lied to or hurt them, or proven to be untrustworthy. This makes it that much harder to give a new person coming into your life trust so easily since you may be worried about the same things recurring and causing you to lose all the trust for them. You may begin to put up trust boundaries, and walls where you start to prepare yourself for the future and the likelihood of people losing your trust since that is what you have experienced and been through. Trust can go all the way back to when you were a little kid and your parents trusted you up until the point of when you proved to them that you cannot be trusted, for example making a mess and saying sorry and that it wont happen again, but in reality you're just a kid and it is inevitable that you will make more messes. Your parents may begin to have the doubt of your sincerity when you say sorry and start to not trust you. I am sure almost every kid has lost some sort of trust with their parents and the next time they ask if they can go out or stay the night at a friends, they are shot down with, “No, what happened last time, we can't trust you.”

... completely believe and trust them. For instance if somebody is able to look at you in the face in your eyes knowing what they are capable of and deliberately lie one time, what is stopping them from doing it again in the future?
In conclusion I have shown that trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. It takes a lot of truths to gain trust, but it only takes one lie to lose it all. Throughout my lifetime I have been affected by my friends, family, and loved ones dealing with trust and what it means. Defining trust has made me more wise and open my eyes to the fact that trust is earned and not given, and very easy to lose. I am someone who wants to be trusted and able to trust others, so defining trust has made it easy for me to get past a broken trust, hope for the better, allow time for change, and let trustworthiness show.
Trust is a trait one should obtain for the people they know are the most honest. To trust someone means to put ones full confidence and reliability on an acquaintance such as someone one is close with. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus, one of the leading characters put his complete trust in the people trying to tell him what he should believe. Brutus joined the conspirators to help take down Julius Caesar because he believed it was what was good for Rome based on what he was deceived. This resulted in the killing of Caesar and the death of himself and others. Not considering the right kind of trust in someone can lead to very troubling things. Cassius told a lie as if it was a truth so Brutus
Trust is the one thing in this world that lots of people desire. Who wants to have any type of relationship without trust?

Trust within family members is one of the strongest forms of trust in the world. This is because people will tend to trust other people that they have known for a long time, which are family members. However if this trust is broken, it could be a huge disaster. If someone breaks trust with a friend or acquaintance, it will suffer some consequences. However, if someone breaks trust with a family member, not only could that connection be lost, but might also turn those family members into enemies. Hamlet by William Shakespeare and Antigone by Sophocles show how important trust is within a family and the consequences of a lack of trust within family members. The relationships between Hamlet and Gertrude, Ophelia and Polonius, Antigone and
Ziad K. Abdelnour, the CEO of a private investment firm, states that, “Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three.” This quote in two sentences speaks volume to the reader. Trust is an important and key component to any relationship. Whether you are married, have a mutual relationship, a friendship, or just a family member; trust plays a key part in the relationship. Without trust relationships crumble.
Trust is “a psychological state comprising the intention to accept vulnerability based upon positive expectations of the intentions or behavior of another “(Rousseau, 1998).
Children develop their basic sense of trust at very early age. If the child proceeds through this stage with the proper support, they will learn to trust others. Otherwise, if the parents are violent, abusive, or the environment they grow up in is not safe, then they will lack that inherent trust in others. Later in life, these individuals may become either criminals or the victims of the violence.
Trust is found everywhere. Trust should be found in the government, but if not the government, friends and family. Powering together creates strength.

Trust is a powerful emotion and can easily be manipulated. In Shakespeare's Tragedy Othello the Moor of Venice the character Iago uses trust as his sword. Othello is so easily duped by Iago because of his carefully built reputation of being honest. Iago studies each character and he knows each weakness. "What should I do? I confess it is my shame to be so fond; but it is not in my virtue to amend it". (847) This was words from Rodrigo to Iago letting Iago know his feelings toward Desmona and giving Iago a tool to use it against him.
Trust versus Mistrust is the first stage in Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. This stage begins at birth and lasts through one year’s old.

Leaders are dishonest. Although some are unintentionally dishonest, it can lead to the deterioration of trust between the leader and his or her followers. An ideal leader is effective when there is trust established between both the leader and the followers. According to Michelle Bligh, trust is an “expectation or belief that one can rely on another person's actions and words and that the person has good intentions to carry out their promises” (21). Leaders gain trust when they are consistently honest and communicate well with their followers. In return, followers respect an honest leader and obey commands without issues. Respect causes a positive environment because authoritative figures and subordinates can rely on each other to achieve the
I have always had a hard time learning how to trust people. The one person I found that I could trust with everything was my sister Brittany. I could always go to her and let her know if I had done something wrong. She would assure me that she would not tell anyone if I didn’t want her to. I knew all my secrets would be safe with her and that nobody would find out unless I told them. This was very important to me because I haven’t had very good luck in finding people whom I can trust. Brittany has never told anyone a secret that I told her. Knowing that I could trust my sister with anything helped make our relationship stronger.
It made it n difficult to trust anyone, because I felt like if the trust I had with my dad could be broken so quickly so could my trust with anyone else. It made me realize how much a simple mistake can ruin something so good. I understand people make mistakes and I knew my dad felt bad but I just did not understand why someone would ever want to make someone lose their trust. I see trust as something you can’t live without. What is a relationship, friendship, a business, an origination without a foundation of trust and loyalty? It is absolutely nothing because those things cant and won’t work if you don’t have that foundation because there are evil people in this world and will manipulate you and go behind your back, while you think they are doing the complete
