Focusing largely on political conflict over air pollution and nuclear power in the United States, Risk and Culture attributed political conflict over environmental and technological risks to a struggle between adherents of competing ways of life associated with the group-grid scheme: an egalitarian, collectivist (“ low grid ,” “ high group ”) one, which gravitates toward fear of environmental disaster as a justification for restricting commercial behavior productive of inequality ; and individualistic (" low group ") and hierarchical (" high grid ") ones, which resist claims of environmental risk in order to shield private orderings from interference, and to defend established commercial and governmental elites from subversive rebuke.

Douglas and Wildavsky criticized this position in Risk and Culture, arguing that it ignores the role of cultural ways of life in determining what states of affairs individuals see as worthy of taking risks to attain.

Finally, some resist Cultural Theory on political grounds owing to Douglas and Wildavsky ’ s harsh denunciation of environmentalists in Risk and Culture.
