How Does personal risk | societal risk Work?

Imagine you're playing on a swing, that’s personal risk, and the whole playground is societal risk.

When you’re on the swing, you decide how high to go. If you go too high, you might fall off, that’s your personal risk. You know it could happen, but you still choose to take the chance because it's fun!

Now think about all the kids on the playground. Each of them is taking their own little risks: one is climbing the slide, another is running around, and someone might even be trying to jump over the fence. Together, those individual choices make up societal risk, like how many people could get hurt at once if something goes wrong.

Sometimes, a big event happens, like a storm or a fire, and it affects everyone on the playground. That’s when personal risk and societal risk come together, you might be safer if your friend helps you up after falling, but if too many kids fall at once, it could get chaotic!

So, while you're playing, remember: what happens to you is personal risk, and what happens to everyone is societal risk. Imagine you're playing on a swing, that’s personal risk, and the whole playground is societal risk.
