Beck: 'risk society' and
the negotiated family
- Beck argues we live in a 'risk society'
where tradition has less influence and
people have more choice
- This makes us more risk-aware
- When we make
decisions, risks and
rewards are calculated
- When we make
decisions, risks and
rewards are calculated
- This makes us more risk-aware

marry, have
children, men
breadwinner,
woman
homemaker
