This presentation discusses the role of public affair management in Kaohsiung gas explosion and Sewol Shipwreck, including the accountability, ethical choices and the possible more active involvement in a technological society. The complexity of technological systems, the embedded uncertainty and the segregation between technical fields make it very difficult for professionals who need to master and understand the practices involving different technical fields.
