SOCIOLOŠKI SMISAO EKO-RIZIKA
Rezime
Sve izraženije entropijske posledice napreka u doba kasne Moderne i rane
Postmoderne ugrožavaju i sam smisao ove civilizacije. To se možda ponajviše
ogleda u sve brojnijim, intenzivnijim i opasnijim rizicima u našem tehnološkom
okruženju. Širenjem procesa globalizacije ubrzano se odvija i proces globalizacije
eko-rizika. Savremeno društvo se, zato, sve više oblikuje kao riziko društvo,
odnosno kao društvo rizika. Dovoljno je, s tim u vezi, podsetiti samo na
(moguće) zastrašujuće posledice genetskog inženjeringa.
Budućnost je neizvesnija nego ikad ranije. Sadašnje generacije ostavljaju
ogromnu hipoteku budućim generacijama. Tim pre, što je potpuna kontrola
i upravljanje najvećim eko-rizicima gotovo nemoguća. Zato je nužna povećana
odgovornost za budućnost, pa i odgovornost nauke. Mora se ubrzano nastaviti
traganje za alternativnim strategijama razvoja i alternativnim tehnologijama.
U tom kontekstu je nužna i izgradnja stalnog sistema globalne zaštite.
To prosto postaje uslov opstanka budućih generacija.
Ključne reči: eko-rizik, društvo rizika, prepoznavanje rizika,
kontrola i upravljanje eko-rizicima, socijalna konstrukcija rizika.
THE SOCIOLOGICAL MEANING OF ECO-RISKS
Summary
The entropic consequences of the progress in the are of late modernity
and early postmodernity are becoming a threat to the very existence and
meaning of this civilisation. This is perhaps most visible in the numerous,
more intnesive and more dangerous risks, among which especially those in
our tech nological environment. The wider expansion of globalisation is
paralleled with the globalisation of eco-risks. Conterporary society is
increasingly becoming a risk society. This tendency is evident not least
from the catastrophic consequences of genetic enigineering.
The future is more uncertain than ever before. Present day generations
are leaving an enormous debt to future generations. This is especially
the case when the issue of risk is in question since the full control and
management of risks is almost impossible. That is why we need to increase
responsibility for the future within the framework of new meta-ethics.
It is crucial to continue and accllreate search for the alternative technologies
and alternative models of development. It is also important to estabilish
the permanent system of global protection. And finally, we need to increase
responsibility of science for the more intensive protection of the living,
and survival of the future generations.
Key words: eco-risks, risk society, social construction of risk,
control and management of risks.
