"#Switzerland-based International Association of Conference #Interpreters (AIIC) issued a statement saying, 'For decades, #MIIS was the quintessential #ConferenceInterpreting training in the United States, and in recent years, it had also become the last comprehensive #conference program. This is part of a larger program affecting conference interpreting #globally, but with its own national undertones.
“'With this decision, there will be no conference #interpreter training in the entire U.S.… given the gravity of the situation, we urge the MIIS president and board of trustees to reassess.’”—from a report by Sara Rubin in #MontereyCountyNow
We'd miss MIIS! Favorite bike advocacy memories include welcoming MIIS students to #Monterey County, at MIIS Information Fairs and in the wider community. https://bikemonterey.org/82313-welcome-to-monterey-institute-of-international-studies-and-bike-friendly-monterey-county.html https://bikemonterey.org/international-national-state-and-regional-collaborations-bicycling-monterey-teams-up-with-others-on-bike-advocacy-efforts.html

Few people notice this: there is often a monthly & quarterly theme in #Kdrama
This month and last month, the recurring theme is #euthanasia or "assisted death", and #Switzerland is sometimes mentioned in passing. (IIRC, there was a K-drama that touched on this earlier this year.)
Usually, this has to do with current social sentiments and discussions. Writers and directors who still values social issues more than entertainment produce projects based on what's the current trend or pressing issue/discussion. Again, usually. The other possibility, someone or some group is pulling the strings.
However these themes occur, it gives us some insight intothe cultural and social situation in South Korea.
As we all know, fiction can influence the people's views and sentiments on sensitive issues, directly and indirectly. It may not be evident immediately but it will be eventually.
It looks like it is euthanasia or assisted death this time. It's a war on minds. Push and pull. Either make it common so people become comfortable with it and make it easi for politicans and news to openly discuss it, or write the stories in a way that will make people to reject it.
It's good to openly discuss sensitive topics and use fiction to put cultural and social issues up front, as long as fiction isn't used to push one side or an agenda.
---
P.s.
I used "assisted death" and not "assisted suicide" not because I'm being politically correct, rather I do believe and think it is more appropriate and accurate.
For me, the word "suicide" is religious or ethical or moral-based, and is relative to the person.
I personally do not have an opinion about assisted death and/or euthanasia, other than it is not "assisted suicide".

I took this photo of the Aletsch Glacier about 10 years ago. I’m going back there next week to see what’s changed.
