need help getting wording on ethics sentence

[angelaartsstudent]

I studied Ethics in my undergad years....if you're still going on ethics and/or ethics clearence for your thesis I can post you my text books to borrow if you like.

Hubby went though a heaps of ethics stuff for his Masters and now his Phd so I feel your pain!

is synchronicity a word you could use?

[LimeSlice]

"The principles of beneficence (to do good) and non-maleficence (to do no harm) work in tandem and are balanced against each other."


"The tandem principles of beneficence (to do good) and non-maleficence (to do no harm) must be balanced ."

The fact that you have already mentioned they are tandem principles and the placement in the sentence of those concepts means that the phrase 'against each other' becomes unnecessary.

HTH Good luck!

"The tandem principles of beneficence (to do good) and non-maleficence (to do no harm) must be balanced ."

OOooh I like that...

"The tandem principles of beneficence (to do good) and non-maleficence (to do no harm) must be balanced ."

I think we have a winner! Thank you so much to all.

Synchronicity is not quite the right word, but i love the word. I had to look it up so that is my word for the day.

I heard some advice the other day re: thesis writing - "It's important to remember that bad writing can be edited, a blank page cannot"... I liked it.
