Discussion PromptThe society is risky than earlier society because it contains indifference, the vanity ofhope, which significantly improved institutions of the modern society of science, empire,business, and military efforts for the unexpected. Socrates has left us making the idea of aconfusing sentence: I know I know nothing. As a result of its perfection, the deadly paradox inwhich the science-technology community puts us is enormous. We do not know what we do notknow but from these dangers, which threaten humankind. The debate on climate change providesa complete example here. Society is more irresistible sarcasm, a hopeless emptiness, in which themost advanced institutions of modern society - science, the world, business, and the military - tryto anticipate the unexpected. Socrates has left us making the idea of a confusing sentence: Iknow, that I know nothing. The deadly controversy in which the science-technology communityputs us, as a result of its consummation, is enormous: We do not know what we do not know -but in this case, it comes from these dangers, which threaten humanity. A good example here isgiven by a debate about a CFC cooling agent. It is also identified that the world risk society, itsindividual must be in a position of differentiating the between the financial risks and theecological dangers, which with time will be conceptualized as the side effects in addition to someof the threat from terrorist networks which are treated as intentional catastrophes. The principleof deliberately and intentionally exploiting the vulnerability of the current society from theearlier society replaces the principle of accident and chance.Examples of some contemporary risks substantiate the claim that the ′risk society′ isan inherently global one and that our current progress produces its risks.
