Trust is like a glass cup; it can be easily broken and repaired slowly if the pieces are put in the right order. Social media has made it fairly tough for people to trust one another in this day and age. Trust can be built up upon various ways, but it is up to a person if they are ready to take the leap in the sea of trust. Social media has caused the world to sit behind a screen instead of being more in person with their freedom of speech. Communication is one of the key factors to regain trust

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is not that different from a corporate empire; both T-Rexes and monopolies ruled the land with little to no competition. They devoured the weak, crushed the opposition, and made sure they were king, but then, all of a sudden, they were extinct. The giants that once were predators became prey, whether it be a natural disaster or the Antitrust

the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, trust is: belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc. Trust does not always come easily. It is common for people to be sensitive to the stability of their trust in others. “Trust is fundamental to life. If you cannot trust in anything, life becomes intolerable—a constant battle against paranoia and looming disaster” (Importance of Trust). This form of faith is easier to break than it is to create. Trust is the phenomenon that occurs when

This is the ideal clinical relationship, one that is built on trust and responsibility. Without trust, the client is not going to open up to the
