With China's entry of the operating stage in the aspects of scientific development and social harmony,the issue of "risk" included in the development of modernity has increasingly aroused people's attention.In fact,since the modern,with the release of modernity controlled by capital logic around the globe,human beings have increasingly become the primary producers of modern risk,and the structure and characteristics of society risk have changed dramatically. something that especially need to pay attention to is the issue of "organized irresponsibility" revealed by the theory of risk society,on one hand,though social systems are now quite advanced and closely related, they cannot effectively deal with modern risk and shoulder the responsibility of prevention and solution;on the other hand,for centuries,people have set economic development as the index of social development,highly advocate "consuming society",which caused the production and accumulation of modern risk.Thus,the problem of who should be responsible for the destruction of environment cannot be dealt with.Facing the problem of risk responsibility brought about by risk society,we should work out an organized responsible system,which has become a new task in this era.As far as government organization is concerned,the crucial task is to specify its own risk responsibility,and transform the mechanism of organization system of risk decision-making and governance;China is now in its transformational stage,which badly needs the innovation of risk governance system.However,the long-existed "strong country—weak society" organization needs the government to be the leading force of establishing risk governance system.As far as social forces is concerned,we should reshape individuals' awareness of risk responsibility through education;we should also bring non-governmental organizations' social impacts into full play,help them overcome their limits and keep their goals with idealistic attitude;We should strengthen enterprises' ability of risk responsibility by making policies and laws,providing social supervision,perfecting self-controlling mechanism and establishing risk governance organization.As far as description system about risk responsibility is concerned, we should reconstruct value reason of knowledge system,promote expects' morality self-control.Mass media should try their best to become qualified "society watcher and environment overseer",i.e to process risk information carefully,and to guide the public to supervise risk decision-making and governance etc.As far as the value of risk responsibility is concerned,we should make the distribution of risk responsibility reasonably according to the realistic ability of the responsible organization and individual,and promote actively the effective cooperation among them,so to base the relationship among the government,enterprises,non-governmental organizations,expects and media on netlike contact and sincere trust.
