Summary/Abstract: Meeting with the existing state of society in a time of global crisis compels us to recognize how multiple pressures on individual human existence are created a complex network of independent, primarily political and economic circumstances. Social solidarity with presence of the most prominent processes of our time suffered obvious changes, which is largely a clear reflection of social events. Sure, the issue of solidarity and trust are important elements that contribute to the creation of social security, but today, global crisis of society makes the social security itself a lot more questionable. Civil society depends on the spirit of generalized trust and confidence in others (A. Seligman), and just trust and security are important needs in the world of quality of every man, especially basic trust that Giddens refers to, as the central element in a complex, general network of relations in society. This paper will present the research of social solidarity and trust, conducted in June-July 2013, which includes interviews with students from several study groups of the University of Sarajevo.
