The most influential being his pioneering advocacy of Pan-Africanism, the belief that all people of African descent had common interests and should work together in the struggle for their freedom.

- Racism was the main target of Du Bois's polemics, and he strongly protested against lynching, Jim Crow laws, and discrimination in education and employment. His cause included people of color everywhere, particularly Africans and Asians in colonies.

- Du Bois took a trip around the world in 1936, which included visits to Nazi Germany, China and Japan. While in Germany, Du Bois remarked that he was treated with warmth and respect. After his return to the United States, he expressed his ambivalence about the Nazi regime. He admired how the Nazis had improved the German economy, but he was horrified by their treatment of the Jewish people, which he described as "an attack on civilization, comparable only to such horrors as the Spanish Inquisition and the African slave trade."

He theorized that we all have a "collective conscience" which essentially explains how we think in common with those who share similar interests, experiences, and culture. Durkheim also carefully on anomie (instances when there is a lack of social standards), and why violence arises during times of social change. This has helped sociologists today have a better grip on social issues, and the effectiveness of public protests. Durkheim has also researched education and how it should be practiced in order to benefit the child. He believes that while rules should be strictly enforced, "‘to become attached to society, the child must feel in it something that is real, alive and powerful, which dominates the person and to which he owes the best part of himself".]]> 2019-09-09 15:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sebenajn20/2alwi9ffma6n/wish/381690161
