Risk society
Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called "risk society". Do you know what a risk is? It's something bad that can happen that we try to avoid. For example, when we cross the street, we look both ways to avoid the risk of getting hit by a car.
Well, a "risk society" is a certain type of society where people are more aware of risks and worried about them. This is because we have a lot of new technologies and ways of doing things that can cause new types of risks. For example, using computers can expose us to risks like hackers or viruses.
When people live in a risk society, they start to think more about how to manage and prevent risks. Governments and companies have to make rules and laws to prevent risks from happening. For example, we have seat belt laws to prevent the risk of getting hurt in a car crash.
Even though living in a risk society means we have to deal with more worries and fears, we are also safer because we take steps to prevent risks. Plus, we have cool things like smartphones and video games that we wouldn't have without new technology!
