Manufactured risk refers to dangers and uncertainties that are not the result of natural events but are created by the impact of human knowledge, technological development, and intervention in the natural world. These risks are often complex and may have unforeseen consequences due to the intricate interactions between human actions and natural systems. Examples of manufactured risk include global warming, which is largely attributed to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions; the potential hazards associated with genetically modified foods; the risks of nuclear power; and the unintended consequences of large-scale technological projects. Unlike natural risks, which may be perceived as external and unavoidable, manufactured risks often involve questions of responsibility, control, and ethical considerations related to human choices and their impact on the environment and society. The study of manufactured risk is important in sociology for understanding the challenges and uncertainties of modern, technologically advanced societies.
