Ulrich Beck on Competence - Dictionary of Arguments
I 70 Competence/Society/knowledge/risks/Beck: the potential threat is evident to everyone concerned, no special knowledge means are required: no measurement procedures, no statistical survey, etc. The affectedness is clear and in this sense independent of knowledge. However, when it comes to the question of the extent of affectedness, the person afftected is dependent on foreign knowledge. The people affected become incompetent in matters of their own concern. >Risks, >Knowledge, >Society/Beck, >Society.

Decisions on risks are never only decisions on knowledge content, but also decisions on affected parties: on the scope and nature of the threat, the level of threat, the group of people involved, late effects, measures, persons responsible, compensation claims. >Decisions._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
