The Professional Distrust
People tend to trust doctors and teachers most of all, showed the survey of GfK Group that covered 19 states worldwide. Policymakers, businessmen and journalists inspire the greatest distrust.
On average, from 70 percent to 90 percent of people trust doctors and teachers. The doctors are trusted more than teachers in developed countries of the Western Europe, and it is the other way round in the less developed states, including Russia.
The difference is profound when it comes to such fundamental institutions as army and police. While 72 percent in the United States trust both of them and 68 percent of Western Europeans trust military and 73 percent trust the police, Russia comes up with just 45 percent and 29 percent respectively. But 68 percent of Russians trust lawyers vs. 54 percent in the Western Europe and 41 percent in the United States.
When it comes to the journalists, the degree of belief is rather high in the Eastern Europe and the United States (above 40 percent). Poland, Romania and Bulgaria have between 55 percent and 65 percent, but only 33 percent to 34 percent of Russians trust the reporters, which is very close to the Western Europe.
As to the policymakers, the level of confidence is low everywhere. But though 25 percent of the polled in the United States tend to trust them, the figure is as low as 11 percent in Russia.
