Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2014, Vol 63, Issue 2
Abstract
The theory of risk society connects the fall of industrial society with grows of non sensual threatens and changes of political priorities. The different kinds of risks and avoidance of them became new topics of political life. Some of the prominent theorists of the theory of risk society have claimed that the fall of industrialsociety is accompanied by an increase in mental tensions, because of growth of threatens. In order to verify these theses the model of risk society was constructed. It turned out that there are probably much fewer mental disorders than evidenced by medical statistics. Asthe industrial societies have vanished, the coefficients of suicides showed a declining trend. The risk society is the product of economic and cultural changes and manifests itself in new orientation of public opinion and growth of demand for safety.
