Paleeva, N. N. Values and Risk Situations

Abstract: Psychologists have paid attention at adventurous and spontaneous nature of human behavior. Risk is a constant companion of history. As the Chairman in Pushkin’s the City of the Plague says, ‘there is ravishment in a fight, abyss and enraged ocean’. This human ability to go towards danger and death and look for special energy and adrenaline may seem unnatural. But in the long run, it is not only extreme sports or extreme situations or catastrophes which are accompanied with risk. Risk penetrates all spheres of human life, their consciousness and behavior.
