Debates on Public Trust Outside PoliticsIn April 2002, in collaboration with Tygodnik Powszechny weekly, we began a series of debates on Public Trust Outside Politics devoted to professions which should enjoy special public confidence, set the ethical standards, provide role-models of good conduct and civic responsibility. However, it is in these professions, which lie outside politics, that a mounting crisis has been observed in recent years. The status of legal professions, scandals in the health sector, the situation in academic circles, among the clergy and in the world of media have all raised public concerns and triggered a discussion on non-political source of authority. Most of the debates were published by Tygodnik Powszechny.
