It shows several concentric ovals (centering on the self) that illustrate how Trust dissipates outward. As we move away from people near to us, we trust them less. Typically there are "circles" of relationships, defined by interdependence, shared knowledge, and trust:
- Self - Personal space (security, privacy and safety)
- Family and Friends (small number of people with enduring relationship, high level of trust and openness)
- Colleagues and Neighbors (larger group of people with frequent encounters, common interest, much lower level of trust)
- Citizens and Markets - Culture or Nation (less interaction, little in common)
- Some also suggest a fifth circle representing the hostile outer world (strangers, enemies, fear and strong suspicion.)
