Abstract :
    Trust is a social act that must be done like the air we breathe or the water we drink. Trust is particularly related to communication. In certain respects, it can be said that the level of insecurity in the modern world is higher than in most pre-modern social life situations, with the growth of modern social institutions, a kind of balance between trust and danger, as well as security and fear. With regard to the changes in the modern world, the rapid growth of communication and information technology, concepts and places, and rootlessness or dislocation in theory are important and one of the major changes in the type of trust is that it has changed from the level of mutual and personal trust to abstract trust. As a result, humans have no choice but to trust symbols, brands and expertise that are the manifestations of modernity. Trust is an important aspect of human relationships and provides the basis for participation and cooperation between members of society. It accelerates trust in various economic, political, social and cultural fields and increases individuals willingness to cooperate with different groups in society.
