dc.description.abstract | This thesis reviews a set of examples regarding several everyday societal issues, whereas there is an attempt for describing related risk. The examples will highlight the everyday use of risk terms and concepts by people of authority, journalists, bureaucrats, politicians etc. The thesis will point out whether any terms and concepts to communicate specific risk are ignored or not. More specifically are they making scientific sense and is there a potential for improvement. The thesis will also include examples from assessment made by risk expert group, so that it creates a structure for comparing the everyday examples to actual expert use of risk terms and concepts. More specifically it will discuss and compare similarities between everyday use of risk terms and concepts among politicians, bureaucrats, and journalists to the state-of-the-art risk science that we know of today. | |
