Answer each of the essay questions below. For each essay, discuss in detail the work of at least 2 scholars we have read this semester in making your argument.

C. How has the acceptance of risk as an inevitable part of life (the ‘ontology of chance’) contributed to the rapid expansion of the gambling industry? How do global risks differ from those actively chosen?

There are faxes for this order.
