Risk society is a new society and a new form of individual life. It has double effects on contemporary individual life, including the negative and the positive. Negative effect is revealed in the following two aspects: one is individual existence anxiety; the other is interpersonal trusting crisis. The Positive effect is also revealed in the following two aspects: one is to provide development opportunity for individual——self exploration; the other is to promote individual reflective selection——ability advancement. Living in the risk society, people should not only be aware of its negative effect, make adjustment and cope with it consciously, but also carry forward its positive significance, develop oneself and promote the capability.
