Hello Sarah,<br>
<br>
The main purpose of the Law is to protect the society. The <span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps">literal</span>
<span class="hps">adherence to the law is often not possible as
the law is always a bit behind the </span></span><span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps"><span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps">ever-changing</span></span>
life on purpose.<br>
<br>
We all may from time to time border on the illegal while
crossing a street in a wrong place (if there is no traffic
around and no crossing in sight), or downloading a song from
Internet inadvertently, etc.<br>
<br>
The law, speaking figuratively, is watching ever-changing
reality for patterns of social danger. And if there is a
persistent social danger in a new </span></span><span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps">phenomenon</span></span>,
only then the law acts against it. There are still heavy punishments
in store for those who behave dangerously in traffic, etc.<br>
<br>
In my opinion, it makes sense not only to watch that every step is
made in accordance legal regulations, but also to act in good faith,
in accordance with moral standards, and having in mind <span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps">the
public good</span></span>. I think it is an exercise in futility
to seek out <span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span
class="hps">minor "legal" violations</span></span>.<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:transparent"><span class="st">However,
as the proverb says, "</span>Solve one problem, and you keep a
hundred others away.</span>" Returning to the issue of diversity,
numerous scientific studies indicate a possible value of diverse
teams [1]. And if this issue is solved (with time), the solution
will continue to work in future, also when there are other people on
board.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
