Uncertainty and Contemporary U.K.

Paper Summary:

This paper analyses the claim that the contemporary UK is characterised by uncertainty. It also looks at how far the changes that might have led to uncertainties can be seen as sources of social diversity and new opportunities.

From the Paper:

"Many now are happy to question medical practitioners & consider 'alternative', diverse forms of treatment. Homeopathy & acupuncture are available, even on the NHS in some cases & form part of a much wider choice than was previously offered. Medical practitioners are now being held more accountable for their work by the media, pharmaceutical companies & by the public in general. The result is, the contemporary UK certainly has more choice in the diversity of medical options available now but not necessarily more certain about what constitutes the best medical advice."
