Changes in Western societies include lower retirement ages, rising unemployment, expansion of service industries, changes in structure professionalism as well as increasing individualization. Beck has also been criticized for his view that all these changes involve the transfiguration of class through improvements linked to reflexive modernization and risk culture influencing social inequalities. Elliot (1996) criticizes Beck for his failure to reasonably consider that individualization could directly facilitate and promote the diffusion of class inequalities and economic exceptionalism. Furthermore, the sociological importance of the possibility of individualization is not sufficient to actually embody systematically asymmetrical correlations of class power. In modern times, individuals are increasingly viewed as agents who enhance their private responsibility and personal security through personal risk assessment of global dangers, information gathering, and management experiences risks. On the one hand, this is what Beck called the individualization of risk, on the other hand, the relationships between the development of global poverty and financial inequality, individualized and privatized risks are more systematic and sophisticated than this. that Beck describes in his work.
