Document Summary
For any healthy relationship to have trust is vital. Those who we trust to be motivated by goods will be directed towards us. Moral integrity- people, who think good will isn"t enough, think of moral integrity instead. Sharing of what counts as moral and reasonable. Competence- for example, if a doctor is singing a song you will question their competence. If they walk in with a stethoscope, white coat, and a note pad, you will be comfortable with them and trust that they"re a professional. White coat= gives him the authority and you the permission to touch your body. White coat is also called the cloak of competence. Cloak of competence lets you permit what needs to be done to be done, and in a sense you trust that individual. Second opinion- if you don"t trust the first doctor, or have a gap of knowledge, we seek a second opinion.
