Public service bodies are facing the trust crisis - Society - EzineMark

At present, in China, the credibility of the governments, experts and media has been damaged, leading to a falling degree social trust. It is believed that public service bodies are facing the trust crisis. In a series of hot social issues, people no longer believe the truth of information released from the so-called authority bodies or authority experts. ??

Not only the scandals lingering over the China Red Cross, in the past few months, a sequence of scandals involving the charity bodies have been deeply hurting the nerve of the community, leading directly to the loss of trust in the Charities as well as a sharp drop in the donations. According to the information released by the Chinese public welfare charity network, after the outbreak of "Guo Mei Mei scandal", public donations through charity organizations have decreased sharply.

During the months between March and May, charitable organizations received donations totaling $ 6.26 billion, while during the months between June and August, the total volume has reduced to $ 840 million in total, dropping by 86.6%.

In fact, charitable organizations are not isolated cases which have suffered a crisis of trust. In recent years, the suspicion seems to have become the consensus of many people. The blue book of social mentality published by the Chinese Academy of social sciences in 2011 shows that from the overall perspective, contemporary Chinese spirit is vibrant and dynamic. But at the same time, social trust is in a state of low value. A survey conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou City people indicates that social trust is at a low level, and people in three cities are at a low of ?the public trust in general.

?Wu Zhongmin, a sociology professor from Central Party School, believes that why the falling confidence has been occurring lies in that there is something wrong with the social credibility which serves as the stabilizer of the social mood.

"Credibility is public confidence in the public image of power and some specific roles, reflecting their authority, credibility and influence. "Wu Zhongmin says that once the credibility of the community had been injured, public acceptance of negative news continues to improve, and the consciousness and ability to identify between truth and false would be weakened. Over time, this would lead to a large area of" crisis of confidence ".
??The monitor from website monitoring of public opinion displays that currently the most ?serious decline in the credibility of the community trust ?happens to the government, experts and media. The lack of trust in the Government, the experts, and the media constitute a question which has been difficult to overcome.
