Communication and Health : Media, Marketing and Risk
This book explores the unique contribution that critical communication studies can bring to our understanding of health.It covers several broad themes: representing and mediating health; marketing and promoting health, co-producing health; and managing health crises and risks.Chapters speak to moral and social regulation through health communication, technologies of health, healthism and governmentality.They engage with historical and contemporary issues, offering readers theoretically grounded perspectives.At base, the book explores what a critical communication approach to health might look like, revealing in important—and sometimes surprising—ways how communication sits at the centre of understanding how health is constructed, contested, and made meaningful.

Managing Risk in Agriculture : A Development Perspective
The book addresses and documents farmers' risks in developing and emerging economies.It draws lessons from experimental economics on measuring risk preferences, attitudes, gender differences in managing risks, and risk management strategies in countries across Africa and Asia.It argues policy makers, especially in emerging economies, need a better understanding of farmers' attitudes toward risk and choices of risk management strategies when designing policies to support production agriculture.The book includes chapters on three themes: understanding risk attitudes and preferences; using experimental economics to measure risk, preferences, and risk management strategies; and understanding climate change, risk, and risk management.The book critically examines the currently held beliefs about risk preference, attitudes, and empirical estimation of risk management strategies, emphasizing developing and emerging economies (DEE). "The agricultural development space is an inherently risky one and this welcome collection belatedly helps to plug an important hole." Jock R. Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics, University of New England, Armidale, Australia "Over time, agricultural production practices have evolved, as have the markets and value chains for food and agricultural products.A constant consideration, however, and one that continues to define agriculture worldwide, is risk.The risks that impinge on agriculture come in all shapes and sizes.Of course, production risks are ubiquitous. But so are market risks. And the same is true for macroeconomic and financial risks and the risks associated with an evolving climate.This book will be a valuable, comprehensive resource for any applied economist desiring to understand the risk management principles relevant to modern food and agricultural systems." Matthew Holt, Prof. and head of the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA, USA.

The Econometrics of Individual Risk : Credit, Insurance, and Marketing
The individual risks faced by banks, insurers, and marketers are less well understood than aggregate risks such as market-price changes.But the risks incurred or carried by individual people, companies, insurance policies, or credit agreements can be just as devastating as macroevents such as share-price fluctuations.A comprehensive introduction, The Econometrics of Individual Risk is the first book to provide a complete econometric methodology for quantifying and managing this underappreciated but important variety of risk.The book presents a course in the econometric theory of individual risk illustrated by empirical examples. And, unlike other texts, it is focused entirely on solving the actual individual risk problems businesses confront today.Christian Gourieroux and Joann Jasiak emphasize the microeconometric aspect of risk analysis by extensively discussing practical problems such as retail credit scoring, credit card transaction dynamics, and profit maximization in promotional mailing.They address regulatory issues in sections on computing the minimum capital reserve for coverage of potential losses, and on the credit-risk measure CreditVar. The book will interest graduate students in economics, business, finance, and actuarial studies, as well as actuaries and financial analysts.

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.

Should I take a second risk and risk a second rejection?
Taking a second risk and risking a second rejection can be a difficult decision. It's important to consider the potential benefits of taking the risk, as well as the potential consequences of facing rejection again. If the potential rewards outweigh the potential negative outcomes, and if you believe that the risk is worth taking, then it may be worth considering taking the second risk. However, it's also important to take into account your emotional well-being and to consider whether you are prepared to handle another rejection. Ultimately, the decision to take a second risk is a personal one and should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances.

From the co-publisher of acclaimed poetry press Omnidawn, Risk engages directly with limitations, both those that structure the literal form of the poems and literary form and those that are both unavoidable and self-inflicted.In Risk, award-winning poet Rusty Morrison uses a constraining form of seven-syllable segments with breaks between to explore questions of limitation.In these poems, she is not just writing about constraints, but living inside and seeing how to manage them.In this way, the speaker of these poems actively experiences limitations as event, not aftermath.Drawing on the idea of philosopher and critic Hélène Cixous who writes that "the border makes up the homeland, it prohibits and gives passage in the same stroke," in Risk Morrison aims where the border and framings she uses offer understanding and where boundaries should be pushed against and passed beyond, as frightening as that might be.

Risk
Risk compensation postulates that everyone has a "risk thermostat" and that safety measures that do not affect the setting of the thermostat will be circumvented by behaviour that re-establishes the level of risk with which people were originally comfortable.It explains why, for example, motorists drive faster after a bend in the road is straightened.Cultural theory explains risk-taking behaviour by the operation of cultural filters.It postulates that behaviour is governed by the probable costs and benefits of alternative courses of action which are perceived through filters formed from all the previous incidents and associations in the risk-taker's life.; "Risk" should be of interest to many readers throughout the social sciences and in the world of industry, business, engineering, finance and public administration, since it deals with a fundamental part of human behaviour that has enormous financial and economic implications.

Risk
We are living in a world in which the existence of risk is constantly debated, misinformation and disinformation are rife and spread quickly and easily through online media, and where governments and institutions continue to avoid taking decisive action even when there is general agreement that a serious threat exists.Understanding how people, social groups and social organizations understand, respond to and act on threats, hazards and dangers is more important than ever.In Risk, Deborah Lupton asserts the ongoing importance of the analysis of risk in our age of permacrisis and mounting scepticism about experts and science, calling for a ‘re-turn’ to risk theory in the social sciences. The book outlines the three major approaches to risk in social and cultural theory, devoting a chapter to each.The first approach draws upon the work of Mary Douglas to articulate the cultural/symbolic perspective on risk.The second approach is that of the risk society perspective, based on the writings of Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens.The third approach covered is that of the governmentality perspective, which builds on Michel Foucault’s work.Three other chapters examine in detail the relationship between concepts of risk and concepts of selfhood and the body, the notion of Otherness and how this influences the ways in which people respond to and think about risk, and the pleasures of voluntary risk-taking, including discussion of edgework.An entirely new chapter has been added to this edition, focusing on the risks posed by misinformation and denial in the context of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.This chapter discusses the politics of post-truth cultures and the powerful networks of actor and organizations that together work to challenge science and manufacture dissent against attempts to tackle these crises. This new edition of Risk is an essential introduction to the topic of risk for students and academics in the social sciences and humanities.

Would you risk it?
As an AI, I do not have the capacity to take risks or make decisions based on emotions or personal preferences. However, I can provide information and analysis to help individuals make informed decisions about whether or not to take risks based on their own circumstances and risk tolerance. Ultimately, the decision to take a risk depends on the potential benefits, the likelihood of success, and the individual's willingness to accept the potential consequences.

Would you take the risk?
It would depend on the specific situation and the potential risks involved. If the potential benefits outweigh the risks and I have thoroughly assessed and mitigated the risks, then I might consider taking the risk. However, if the risks are too high or the potential consequences are severe, I would likely choose not to take the risk. Ultimately, it is important to carefully evaluate the situation and make an informed decision based on the available information.
