Do memes have a moral component that we should consider and which may make them socially
dangerous or morally unacceptable? Explain. Please list reference, please no copy and paste.
Thank you.
Solution
Risk is a concept with multiple meanings and is ideologically loaded. The author reviews the
literature on risk perception and risk as a sociocultural construct, with particular reference to the
domain of public health. Pertinent examples of the political and moral function of risk discourse
in public health are given. The author concludes that risk discourse is often used to blame the
victim, to displace the real reasons for ill-health upon the individual, and to express outrage at
behavior deemed socially unacceptable, thereby exerting control over the body politic as well as
the body corporeal. Risk discourse is redolent with the ideologies of mortality, danger, and
divine retribution. Risk, as it is used in modern society, therefore cannot be considered a neutral
term.
