Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ulrich Beck argues that the hazards of the risk society are not restricted spatially (i.e., they can affect people globally), temporally (i.e., they can have long-term effects), or socially (i.e., they can affect people regardless of their social status). They are not limited to environmental and health concerns and are not controlled by new technologies. While deregulation can contribute to some risks, it is not the only cause. Therefore, the best choice is C.
