The Generation And Avoidance Of Modern Technology Risk

With the rapid development of modern technology,the risk of modern technology has attracted more attention.With the construction of risk society theory by Ulrich Baker,Anthony Giddens and other scholars at home and abroad,and the research on the social problems brought by technology,modern risk society theory has been deepened.Risk runs through human society all the time,technology and human civilization coexist and progress together.Today,the problem of technological risk in the modern perspective is more prominent.Modern technological risk is an important part of "risk society".Different from the technological risk of traditional society,modern technological risk is mixed with more "human factors",which is a kind of "created risk".Baker calls it "risk of civilization".From the perspective of human development history,technological innovation promotes the continuous progress of human civilization,while progress also brings many existing drawbacks and future risks,and technological risk has become an important driving force of modern risk society.From the modern perspective,technological risk and risk society are mutually constructed: on the one hand,technological risk is an important feature of risk society;on the other hand,risk society provides a theoretical framework for technological risk research.The complexity and serious uncertainty of modern technology lead to various causes of modern technology risks,but they can not be separated from their origins.The generation of risks can not be separated from the factors of technology itself,the main factors of technology and the factors in the process of technology use.The limitations of technology itself,technology shelter and technology black box constitute the technological factors;the limitations of people as the main body of technology,misperception and loss of the main body constitute the human factors;the alienation of technology culture,capital market induction and defects of political system in the process of technology use constitute the factors in the process of technology use.This includes not only the influence of objective factors,but also the influence of man-made subjective factors.Finally,from the methodological point of view,it evades the risk of modern technology.Combining with the characteristics of the modern era,it puts forward evasion strategies from three dimensions: technology itself and governance logic evasion;technology subject evasion of expert system and public evasion;market regulation and institutional innovation.Avoidance at the level of social system.
