Trust as an Existential Value of a Modern Man

Modern society is rapidly changing, which is why there is a rethinking of each person’s worldview. Norms of behaviour, stereotypes, and values are changing. Since a person has existence, he needs to independently build his own value system and be responsible for it to himself. The authors examine the attitude to trust as an existential value of a modern person and conclude that a modern person recognises the value of trust, but sees trust as a way to maintain his own social status and material well-being. This problem should be solved by preserving and recognising moral values both by each person and by the whole society.
