No, we cannot; but yes, we must act as if we do. Some dangers are unknown; others are known, but not by us because no one person can know everything. Most people cannot be aware of most dangers at most times. Hence, no one can calculate precisely the total risk to be faced. How, then, do people decide which risks to take and which to ignore? On what basis are certain dangers guarded against and others relegated to secondary status? This book explores how we decide what risks to take and which to ignore, both as individuals and as a culture.Risk managementFBCRiskFBCRiskSocial aspectsFBCRisk assessmentEnvironmental impact analysisTechnologyRisk assessmentTeknologiFBCRisikoledelseFBCMiljøetFBCanthropology.climate change.conservation.crime.cultural theory of risk.danger.economy.environmentalism.fear.foreign affairs.foreign policy.global warming.government policy.hazard.law and order.media.nonfiction.personal politics.personal protection.political beliefs.politics.pollution.risk management.risk perception.sense of danger.social dangers.social issues.social organization.society.sociology.technology.worldview.Risk management.Risk.RiskSocial aspects.Risk assessment.Environmental impact analysis.TechnologyRisk assessment.TeknologiRisikoledelseMiljøet304zDouglas Mary, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.81710Wildavsky Aaron B229701Douglas Mary81710MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778083903321Risk and culture3827729UNINA
