Discrimination in employment matters Assignment

You should examine the following quotation and answer the question below it.

Over 45 years the law has sometimes led and sometimes lagged behind public opinion on matters of equality. While prohibitions on certain kinds of discrimination have on occasion helped to change attitudes, it has also become clear that the law alone will not deliver whatever kind and degree of equality society wants: the issues are too complex and too embedded in society and human nature to be solvable only by legal measures.

- Smith and Woods Employment Law, 15th. Edition, page 256.

Critically assess the current state of the law relating to discrimination in employment matters. (This question is broadly worded. You might usefully consider those areas of the law where the law is working effectively and other aspects of the law where improvement might be obtained. You are not being marked on your views but on the quality of arguments advanced. You can take one or more protected characteristics, one case, or any aspect of the law. If you are in doubt, ask me).
