Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction

Laws have pushed for advancement in equality and inclusion in society in a variety of ways. Most significantly, laws have been passed to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and other characteristics. These laws have helped to ensure that people of all backgrounds have access to the same opportunities and protections under the law. Additionally, many laws have been passed to help promote equal pay and opportunities in the workplace, such as the Equal Pay Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
