Comment on Etymology of "Economy" by Laura Biesecker

the suffix, logy, does not mean the same as “nomy”. “logy” refers to the study of something. So “ecology” refers to the study of a “broad, self-sustaining unit”. Today, ecology often refers to the broad self-sustaining unit of the “environment”.It is “the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings”, which is often referred to as an “ecosystem”. However, ecology nor ecosystem have to strictly refer to the natural world, they can also apply to human constructs such as governmental systems or managerial systems, even work places or domestic organization.

Such a touching story! I admire the way you beautifully wrote it and thank you for sharing. Interpreting in pediatric settings are definitely more challenging than in most medical settings for sure.

I was told in the past that as an interpreter, you are not supposed to get emotional. But as a human being, and a mother I can’t help to feel the pain that my patients are going through. This story clarifies for me that it’s ok to feel a certain way after an emotional encounter; because we are humans and not robots. Thanks

[…] From this welfare-consequentialist standpoint, defining license scope is a balancing act between consumer interests in price, quality, and choice. Did the Working Group strike the right balance? The data necessary to scrutinize their choices does not seem to be available at this time.
