Objectivity refers to the study without bias, it looks to the study of a topic while not taking in personal opinion to sway the outcome or decisions and that is needed in order to effectively advance technology. Parsimony means keeping the new discoveries as simple to understand as possible, making it easier to learn. Ethical Neutrality refers to the study under ethical means and standards which can be also used by determinism, which refers to the principle that behavior is caused by events that happened before it.
