When PR-man aims at conquest of wide reliance of confidence, he tries to convict about social requirement of this firm functioning, prompt community interest in what good is happening in company, how company reacts to clients expectations and to other different social groups.Public Relations is an art of confidence construction through careful done plan of long-term information activity for maintenance of social acceptance in the company, among clients, in financial and public institutions etc.Public Relations doesn't fight with "strangers and differency" but it is fitted for ascendant conditions in the midst, because contrary to propaganda, PR respects opinions and views of receivers, it helps with apprehension and acceptance of diversity.
