Modern society is fundamentally different from all human communities that existed during the development of world civilization. The world has become a technosociety with a number of characteristics that cannot be correlated with the formations existed before. We can talk about an established society, where scientific and technological progress is not only a guarantee of development, but also a condition for existence, which is very noticeable in such areas as healthcare, energy industry, and the production of various materials. Unlike all previous civilizations, this society has a number of separate social segments that are not only interconnected, but also interdependent. Such a structure, which has no analogues in the past, requires a new approach to education, which should simultaneously be both highly-specialized and interdisciplinary, while performing both formative and educational functions. The safety of the modern world largely depends on the correct balance of educational principles, on the quality of education, as in the case of manmade disasters (Chernobyl and Fukushima) and the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) viral pandemic in 2020. These events became agents for new methods of assessing the various factors mutual influence on such phenomena. At the same time, there is an interest in creating private methods that allow predicting the possible effectiveness of various economic and other measures to reduce the risk of emergencies and improve safety.
