The Most and Least Trusted Professions in the UK and Spain by Rosa María Corredera Martos https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt Students, on an individual basis, will post their opinion about the topic mentioned above. en-us 2016-10-27 20:22:06 UTC 2023-03-30 01:39:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Growing.png According to published statistics, the most trusted professions in the U.K. are doctors and teachers. I think that the data make sense. Being a teacher myself, I don't have an axe to grind, because everybody trusts in teachers and also in doctors opinion. On the other hand, I am quite surprised that hairdressers are in the fifth position of the ranking, just fairly below scientist. Perhaps the fact that the vast majority of people surveyed were housewives made the results unbiased. I do agree with the low trusted one´s because journalists are not impartial. Frequently their points of view depend on the news agency they work for. A bit higher in the ranking, are bankers and builders; in reality people are feed up of corruption, and it is common knowledge that these professionals have stolen a lot of money. If you want my honest opinion, in Spain they would have been even less scored in the surveys because of this reason. I'm going to play the devil's advocate, Government ministers shouldn´t be the lowest in the statistics because they are the ones who have to call the big decisions in the country; possibly people think they usually lie and do not accomplish their electoral promises.   afmilan https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/133966448 2016-10-28 17:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/133966448 The Most and Least Trusted Professions in the UK and Spain. antoniomartosgarcia https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134067244 Professions is a topic to talk about in any country. As we can see in the bar graph next to the to the new, results had not changed so much since 2014. From what I can gather, in general,  people do not change their opinion from one year to another. There had been some differences, but, doctors and teachers keep in their position. Being a teacher, I can do my job as I belive it is the better way beacause I do not have an axe to grind. But, are these results real?  Or people opinions are based in general conclusion. I mean, we can not know if they say the true or not. Perhaps, they say this because is rigth seen.  On the contrary, I am quite surprised that police officers are in the sixth position of the ranking under hairdressers. 

Supposing we did this survey in Spain, results would be similar. But if you want my honest opinion, I think that Spain politicians would be less scored that in the UK.

As for the second position, I disagree as some judges have been involved in corruption and prevarication cases. If you ask me about one of the last professions in the statistic, journalists, it is not surprising as the cradle of sensationalism resides in UK. Many of them work in tv programs and sometimes, they seek news without contrast sources of information. The reality is they don't give serious news. beaoles https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134079171 2016-10-30 12:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134079171 Fran_Arranz https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134084780 According to the statistics given by the survey, we see how trust in ordinary people has increased in the UK, while trust in public professions has been gradually demolished (with the exception of police officers, public servants on which the 68% of Britons deposit their trust), with government ministers and politicians leading the lowest levels of the list; in addition, the survey states that these ones are closely followed by journalist and bankers.
 
Quite frankly, the situation is not so different from Spain. Here, politicians, bankers and public servants weren’t the most trusted roles of our country, but in these last years common people have passed from look at then with suspicion to think of them with open discontent. The reality is that they are far more willing to trust in their habitual vendor than in the people who rule the nation.
 
If you want my honest opinion, mistrust on statesmen is a longtime spanish tendency. But this tendency has been exponentially increased because of the poor and deplorable management of the 2008 crisis, which has even led to a current political crisis in our country.

In general, I agree with the statistics, in spite of the fact that there are always `bad apples´ that `give others a bad name´, and it also happens in these professions. 

If you want my honest opinion, I’m a bit surprised that the clergy is so well valued, and I’d like to speak my mind about this issue. In the past, the priests have lived at the expense of farm workers and, although it has changed over the years, I think they’ve got a real vested interest in which people have the faith that they encourage. 

On the other hand, bankers, state agents and journalists are between the least trusted professions, which I’m not surprised in at all. However, let’s not beat about the bush, as the reality at this point is that politicians are the least trusted. If you ask me about this result, I think it’s quite normal, as there is a lot of corruption, above all in Spain. Quite frankly, governments don’t usually tell the truth, and they aren’t honest, as they make a promise and do the contrary. What is more, they change their speech after some years or even months.

At the bottom of the list we find government ministers and politicians in general.

Quite frankly, I would say that the situation in Spain is rather similar, although in my opinion the general mistrust is even greater. Journalists or estate agents, for example, always seem to have an axe to grind. However, this happening is not so often in other professions like doctors or teachers that, usually, have only got a real vested interest in providing people a good service. The case of politicians is a tragic issue. A person who is supposed to lead a country, involving therefore millions of lives, should not inspire so much wariness. But the reality is that the continuous political scandals in the last years make hard to trust in this kind of professional, who seldom speaks his mind and is constantly beating about the bush.

From what I can gather I agree with the most professions that Uk´s survey mentions but on the other hand I am  going to speak my mind about the hairdresser´s positions as I do not agree about its fifth position. From my point of view, I think that there are other professions more trusted thatn the hairdressers´ as well as pilot, architect or even police officers. 

If you want my honest opinion, I would say that the situation in Spain is quite similar than in Uk.

On the one hand I agree with doctors´position, on the other hand I do not agree with the politicians´position. In other words, I am going to play the devil´s advocaty, Goverment should be in a lower position than they are as they are always lying to everybody and the worst of all is that they are stealing the money that we earn honestly.

It´s not surprising to see doctors in the first place of the poll, they are usually learned men or women who can save our lifes. But seeing hairdressers at the fith position is such a shock fact. But to my mind, while you are styling you hair, you are talking with the hairdresser so you usually tell your diary life to them as well as they are good talkers and often likeable.

If you want my honest opinion I would say that this poll will be very different in Spain, above everything by the politicians, nowadays there are a lot of corruption and most of us don´t trust in them]]> 2016-10-31 18:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134315811 POOR TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE gabiseguraman https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134332103
By reading this article, we can easily reach to the conclusion that the more powerful you become, the less reliable you get. And if I had to speak my mind, I would say that it happens the same in the whole world, not only in Spain.
To be honest, I wouldn't share my secrets with the first taxi driver I met, but I wouldn't either ask a business man to take care of my dog: they are greedy people and you can't believe a single word of what they are saying.
From what I can gather, people that do their best just to help other people are , patently, more likely to tell you the truth than a business man or a politician. I'm, of course, speaking about teachers, doctors and generally speaking, people that are not hungry for more.
But now I`m going to play devil's advocate: Would you deserve to be considered a reliable person if you became president of this country tomorrow?

Among the worst rated we found journalist and politicians.

If you want my honest opinion, I would say that I agree with this survey, because doctor and teacher are very important in our days. The first of them, save and cure people, while the other teach future generations. But with the position of hairdresser´s I don´t agree at all. I think that there are other professions that have to be in that position, such as lawyers or police.

As far as I´m concerned the situation in Spain is simililar to the UK, doctor in the first place. In the botton of the survey politicians and journalist.]]> 2016-11-01 09:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134414700 joaquinhidalgo https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134420012 From what I can gather, the most trustworthy professions in the UK are the same that in Spain, apart from clergy/priest (if you want my honest opinion, I don’t think it’s consider as a profession here in Spain). According to the statistics the most trusted professions are doctors, teachers, professor and judges… Quite frankly, I consider these are vocational professions and we need to think they are people with strong values to trust them. Look at it this way, will you trust in someone without moral values to take care of your children or your family’s health?
On the other hand, the least trusted professions in the UK are politicians, journalists, estate agents, bankers and builders. If you ask me, I think this has to do with the huge crisis we are living from 2008 and the way that politicians have managed it.
I totally agree with the surveys and in my view, people in Spain think the same about the most/least trustworthy professions than people in the UK.

Let´s not beat about the bush, the least trusted professions are those which have been considered top jobs and we consider far away from us like politicians, estate agents and journalists (who generally have an axe to grind).

However, I´m going to play the 
devil´s advocate with these professions; it´s very difficult to please everyone when you have a top job because many people depends on you and how your work is done. That statistics about trust made in Spain are so similar to 
UK´s is not by chance, top jobs are usually least trusted everywhere. 

If you want my honest opinion, in our society It´s no use sitting on the fence, people must decide if they trust or not, and there´s no time to think about those who are given a bad name by some bad apples.

The reality is that there exists a significant concern about how trustworthy professionals are on developing their working skills.
From what I can gather from data, professions including doctors, scientists, and judges are considered "squeaky clean" in the Uk and Spain. However, playing devil´s advocate, confidence in these individuals may be altered depending on the real vested interest of media in making these occupations trustworthy. To my knowledge, revealed information published by media states that certain professions are discredited in favour of other untrustworthy jobs as a response to other influential citizens who have an axe to grind.
If you ask me about the least trusted professions in both countries, not going to beat about the bush, politicians and journalists are judged as the most unrealible jobs across nations. Quite frankly, I agree with my classmates and support their criteria dealing with this topic as their statements are based on evidence.]]> 2016-11-01 13:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134458738 juanmmescobar https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134463458 According to a survey by Ipsos MORI, doctors, teachers and judges are among the most trustworthy professions in the UK, while others like journalists, estate agents and politicians are at the bottom of the list.

To my knowledge, the results would be mostly the same in Spain. The way I see it, professions that require someone to convince you of something, or sell you something, are the least trusted, and for a reason. They will do anything in their power to succeed, regardless of the morality of it. 

But playing the devil’s advocate, what else can they do? People are not going to vote for a politician who’s an amazing administrator, they will vote for the one who says whatever they want to hear. An honest estate agent would be terrible at their job, and I wouldn’t blame journalists for not being impartial, I would blame their employers who are truly the ones who have an axe to grind.

If you ask me, there are certain professions in which not being honest is one of the requirements if you want to be successful at it and we are all, as a society, to blame for that.

In both countries,doctors are the most trusted profession,followed by teachers,judges and scientists.
However, hairdressers aren't considered in Spain as trusted as in UK.Let's not beat about the bush,everybody knows if a person told her/his hairdresser a secret,it would become "the new gossip"among the clients.
On the flipside,politicians are the least trusted to tell the truth and if you want my honest opinion,this result hits the nail on the head!
Quite frankly,we can see especially in Spain that politicians don't practice what they preach.We're often witness about how they've done some kind of dodgy business.If you ask me,I must say that they're rotten apples and luckily,according to the UK poll they're considered bad apples too]]> 2016-11-01 13:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134468987 THE MOST AND LEAST TRUSTWORTHY PROFESSIONS IN THE UK AND SPAIN According to Ipsos MORI survey, doctors are supposed to be the most trusted professionals. Quite frankly, they are also well considered in our country, but from what I can gather, more and more people in Spain bring into question what doctors from traditional medicine diagnose them. As far as I am concerned, the internet is becoming the most trustworthy source of information for many people in Spain, and surely in the rest of the western world. This happens as people surf the internet trying only to confirm their opinion about something. When they find it, they find the truth. In the other hand, Britons position politicians as the most trustworthy professions. To my knowledge, a survey in Spain would conclude the same. Let´s not beat about the bunch, every day we hear news about politicians that benefit big companies in which they have an axe to grind, the make lots of promises that they never keep or, even worse, they directly steal public money. evgarbing https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134489677 2016-11-01 14:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134489677 ETHICS IN PROFESSIONS   How would you rate the honesty and ethical standards of people in different fields? The reality is that surveys vary depending on the country where they are made. According to the official statistics in the UK and Spain, health professions such as nurses and medical doctors are at the top of the list. From what I can gather, most of my classmates agree. But, let´s not beat about the bush, I would remove teachers from the top of the list. To my knowledge, most of people say they work very little and earn a lot. As it happens in all professions, there are bad apples that give others a bad name, but if you ask me, I would invite those people to spend a day in my class. I am pretty sure they would change their mind. On the other hand, it would be undeniable to consider politicians at the bottom of the list because of all the cases of corruption they are involved. elpirre https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134503849 2016-11-01 15:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134503849 The Most and Least Trusted Professions in the UK and Spain jenniferdiazgarrido93 https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134518383 According to the statistics of a current survey by Ipsos MORI, the five most trusted professions in the UK are doctors and teachers, followed by judges, scientists and hairdressers. On the contrary, the least trusted professions are government ministers, journalists and state agents. It is important to mention that the eighty-nine percent of people trust on doctors and, only the twenty-one percent of people trust on politicians to tell the truth. 

If you want my honest opinion, I would say that I totally agree with this survey because teachers and doctors are really important to our society nowadays and they need to be in a high position. 

As far I’m concerned, Spain shares the same ranking of professions with the UK. Doctors are always in a good place because they could safe our lives in whatever complicated situation. So, people trust on them. However, people do not trust on politicians because they lie on all occasions. 

To my knowledge, I think politicians have got a real vested interest in stealing public money to citizens. They do not want to work for the improvement of the country; they only want to increase their patrimony.

In reality, it seems comprehensible to trust important social roles such as doctors, teachers or judges, though it makes me think that perhaps, this tendency is caused by our own needs to believe in them.

On the other hand, politicians, estate agents and goverment ministers are the worst valued. As far as I'm concerned, but for their illegal and immoral acts, they wouldn't be so badly considered.

Quite frankly, I'd say population find professions of public service more reliable. To my knowledge, these workers don't have an axe to grind. On the contrary, they often have a real vested interest in having a clever carreer, in order to make a name for themselves.

Maybe this is becouse the "bad" politicians give other politicians which are good a bad fame.

To my knowledge in Spain, most of the people don´t trust in politicians and have more trust in a baker for example.

Most of politicians beat around the bush and try not to answer some questions and I think that makes them less trustworthy becouse they seem like they are not taking their jobs in a serious maner.

MonicaSanchez https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134592335 I would like to begin by saying that according the last statistics in the UK some professions  continue being trustworhy whereas others have declined drastically.From I can gather,doctors,judges and clergy are the most reliable professions.Futhermore,it's very intriging to find out that reliance in common professions such as hairdresses rises so much.If you want my honest opinion,I'm going to speak my mind,they always have an axe to grind.
Conversely,undoubtedly politicians,state agents and bankers are in the bottom of the graphs.Likewise,journalist have not got a good image within the society at the moment,as a result,they are in the trusted professions.
Quite frankly,as far as I'm concerned the situation in Spain is equivalent than in the UK.Indeed,doctors and teachers are highly considered by citizens as same as judges whereas statemen and journalists aren't truly impartial.I'm going to play devil's advocate,but regarding politiciansand bankers' image in our country is even worstthan in the UK.I totally agree with people them corrupt and medacious.Besides,they have a real vested interest in what they do.]]> 2016-11-01 18:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134592335 The most and least trusted professions in the UK and Spain. jpm702 https://padlet.com/rosaeoic1teacher/yzbhedmsg5qt/wish/134616018 According to the statistics the most trusted professions both in UK and in Spain are similar because in the first place are doctors  followed by teachers, judges, scientist, hairdressers professors, etc.
An exception can be judges becuase  I think that they  aren´t trusted enough by the Spanish public because they sometimes take controversial decisions.
I totally agree with that survey because people trust a lot in doctors and teachers due to the fact  that they do an important labour in favour of the society.

On the other hand the least trusted professions are government ministers, journalists, bankers, builders and in the last place policitians.
I´m going to speak my mind, I think that these results are as consequence of the economic crisis and corruption scandals, specially focusing in the politicians. Goverments haven´t managed the current situation in a good way.
For these reasons people don´t trust in these professions.

As far as I'm concerned, these are the most trusted proffesions not only in the UK, but also in Spain, and most of the countries.

Quite frankly,  I think that the trust on these proffesions has increased over the years and it is understandable because of the progress in this areas (medicine, education...) . The reality is that as science advance, the trust in the clergy decrease, for example.

On the other hand, politicians and journalists are the least trusted people. From what I can gather, this is very reasonable because it has been displayed that those people have done really bad acts lying and stealing money.

At the end of the list, we can see how lose confidence proffesions which are related with economic or politic activities.
From my point of view, the results of this survey could be very similar in the rest of Europe or even Spain, due to the fact that, in recent years, it has suffered an economic recession and, as a consequence of different economy scandals  type, people have sttopped gambling in this proffesions.
Another point is, nowadays, there are more information available and people are more suspicious about people who have a high social position.

Quite frankly, in Spain there is a similar tendency, despite the huge difference between Englih and Spanish people. If you want my honest opinion, quite frankly, all the professions related with the possibility of stealing money or modifying the information with vested interest are less trusted.
