English term or phrase: catalysing solutions for societal harmony Policy-making must be improved so that advances in medicine, engineering, nanotechnology, genetics and computer science are not perceived as threatening our ethics, humanity or civil liberties.

Soluciones catalizadoras para (lograr) la armonía social/societaria Explanation: Hola Anne, No puedo estar seguro sin ver el texto, pero intuyo que se propondrán soluciones para estos problemas. Catalizar bajo la acepción siguiente del DRAE: 2. tr. Favorecer o acelerar el desarrollo de un proceso. A mi juicio, no va much entre "societal" y "social" en este caso (de hecho me parece una forma llamativa de expresarlo en inglés. Sólo lo mantedría como societaria si hubiese un motivo bien justificado en el texto. Suerte y feliz semana, Álvaro :O) :O)	Selected response from: moken Local time: 13:53

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  nahuelhuapi 56 mins agree  Magec Borges Gil (X): Coincido con Álvaro. Me decantaría por "social", pues, según el DRAE, "societario" es aquello "perteneciente o relativo a las asociaciones, especialmente a las obreras." 2 hrs   -> Muchas gracias Magec. ¡Saludos desde Tenerife! :O) agree  jacana54 (X): social 2 hrs   -> ¡Gracias Lucía y feliz semana! :O) :O)
