    1. This makes us more risk-aware
      1. When we make decisions, risks and rewards are calculated
    2. 'Risk society' contrasts with previous fixed roles and less choice
      1. e.g. expected to marry, have children, men breadwinner, woman homemaker
      2. Although traditional patriarchal family was oppressive, provided stability for family life
