Is life a risk?
Life inherently involves risk, as we are constantly faced with uncertainty and the potential for negative outcomes. From making decisions about our careers, relationships, and health, to simply crossing the street, we are always exposed to some level of risk. However, it is important to remember that taking risks can also lead to growth, learning, and new opportunities. Ultimately, how we navigate and manage these risks is what shapes our experiences and defines our lives.

Is my growth at risk if I exercise fitness at 16?
Exercising fitness at 16 is generally beneficial for growth and overall health. Regular exercise can help improve muscle strength, bone density, and cardiovascular health, which are all important for growth and development. However, it is important to ensure that you are not overtraining or putting excessive stress on your body, as this could potentially interfere with growth. It's important to listen to your body, vary your workouts, and ensure you are getting proper nutrition and rest to support your growth and development. Consulting with a healthcare professional or fitness trainer can also help ensure that you are exercising in a safe and effective manner.

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.

The Social Roots of Risk : Producing Disasters, Promoting Resilience
The first decade of the 21st century saw a remarkable number of large-scale disasters.Earthquakes in Haiti and Sumatra underscored the serious economic consequences that catastrophic events can have on developing countries, while 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina showed that first world nations remain vulnerable.The Social Roots of Risk argues against the widespread notion that cataclysmic occurrences are singular events, driven by forces beyond our control.Instead, Kathleen Tierney contends that disasters of all types—be they natural, technological, or economic—are rooted in common social and institutional sources.Put another way, risks and disasters are produced by the social order itself—by governing bodies, organizations, and groups that push for economic growth, oppose risk-reducing regulation, and escape responsibility for tremendous losses when they occur.Considering a wide range of historical and looming events—from a potential mega-earthquake in Tokyo that would cause devastation far greater than what we saw in 2011, to BP's accident history prior to the 2010 blowout—Tierney illustrates trends in our behavior, connecting what seem like one-off events to illuminate historical patterns. Like risk, human resilience also emerges from the social order, and this book makes a powerful case that we already have a significant capacity to reduce the losses that disasters produce.A provocative rethinking of the way that we approach and remedy disasters, The Social Roots of Risk leaves readers with a better understanding of how our own actions make us vulnerable to the next big crisis—and what we can do to prevent it.

Unjustifiable Risk? : The Story of British Climbing
To the impartial observer Britain does not appear to have any mountains.Yet the British invented the sport of mountain climbing and for two periods in history British climbers led the world in the pursuit of this beautiful and dangerous obsession.Unjustifiable Risk is the story of the social, economic and cultural conditions that gave rise to the sport, and the achievements and motives of the scientists and poets, parsons and anarchists, villains and judges, ascetics and drunks that have shaped its development over the past two hundred years.The history of climbing inevitably reflects the wider changes that have occurred in British society, including class, gender, nationalism and war, but the sport has also contributed to changing social attitudes to nature and beauty, heroism and death.Over the years, increasing wealth, leisure and mobility have gradually transformed climbing from an activity undertaken by an eccentric and privileged minority into a sub-division of the leisure and tourist industry, while competition, improved technology and information, and increasing specialisation have helped to create climbs of unimaginable difficulty at the leading edge of the sport.But while much has changed, even more has remained the same.Today's climbers would be instantly recognisable to their Victorian predecessors, with their desire to escape from the crowded complexity of urban society and willingness to take "unjustifiable" risk in pursuit of beauty, adventure and self-fulfilment.Unjustifiable Risk was shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker prize in 2011.
