@article{article_756626, title={Discussing the Coronavirus Pandemic in the Context of Risk Society and Its Educational Implications}, journal={Adam Academy Journal of Social Sciences}, volume={10}, pages={487–589}, year={2020}, author={Duran, Volkan and Cengiz, Recep}, keywords={Risk Toplumu, Coronovirus Pandemisi, Aydınlanma}, abstract={<p> </p> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">This article aims to review the condition of social challenges we encounter today in </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">the context of risk society. The methodology of this research is based on qualitative </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">research in which the document analysis technique was used for data collection </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">and the meta-synthesis method was used to analyze the data. The main data source </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">is the master and doctoral dissertations published on the website of the council of </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">higher education in Turkey. The criteria for choosing documents is that there should </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">be a plague and risk society keyword in their title. In conclusion, the risk is still </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">present and in all communities. Yet they are also the root of the challenge posed </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">by society. Today the research, negligence, and actions that people generally are </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">now yielding the risks. In the past, ignorance was a risky place for humans, but now </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">it is based on information, complete control over existence, laws, and boundaries. </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">To summarize, there are significant differences between the present outbreak and </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">previous pandemics. The cultural and technical change produces these significant </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">differences. While the dissemination of historical outbreaks has been mostly confined </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">to small locations where the virus occurs, in the post-modern era, the consequences </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">of outbreaks are strong in the sense of Risk Society. However, an important </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">factor that is ignored or put on the second plan is the social-psychological effect of </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">the outbreak. In this regard reviewing the pandemic in the context of Risk Society </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">gains importance. It should be noted that education is a key instrument for awareness </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">about this issue as well as reflecting the concept sociologically and philosophically </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">give us more insights about this issue. </span> </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Ankara Düşünce ve Araştırma Merkezi}
