Project:
Social & Individual Risk, & Reflexivity
Beck holds that Modernity has generated both unprecedented
risks & unprecedented
reflexive capacities to deal w/
those risks
1. What are those risks generated by society?
2. Discuss whether the risks given as examples are
experienced socially or individually.
3. Can those risks be avoided by an individual decision
through their own efforts?
4. Can those risks be avoided by societal decision
through policy level efforts?
5. What are the costs & benefits for individuals
& society if they are reflexive toward those risks, i.e. make the effort
to understand & reduce those risks?
