摘要:Risk refers to the situations of danger and threat that humanity has faced since life has existed. Humanityhas learned to intervene in nature by using the power of science and technology to eliminate risks from theearliest ages to the present day. Today, interference with nature has gone so far that nature has turned intoan artificial state, as Beck expressed in the theory of a risk society. Therefore, a world has emerged as full ofrisks much more than before. Beck’s statement that there is no sense of borders between countries due to the impact of globalization in his theory is an important evaluation in terms of the fact that the pandemicthat occurs in any region of the world in the Covid-19 pandemic period affects fast all countries in a veryshort time. In this study, globalization, boomerang effect, thirst for truth, social inequality, risk denial, riskmarketing, individualization, lack of science and loss of reputation, the way the media presents risk areevaluated through the pandemic period in connection with the issues expressed by Beck in his theory. It issignificant that the results revealed by Beck coincide with the causes of the pandemic and its consequences.
