In “Accepting or Rejecting Innovations” by Jared Diamond he explains that new technology can be accepted or rejected by people. Technology is not an easy factor to be ready acceptance, but he says that they need to persuade society to adopt it first. Diamond states the factors that cause people to adopt technological innovations into their lives are a relative economic advantage, social value and prestige, and compatibility with a vested interest.

“Why did god make me an outcast and a stranger in my own house?(pg”, Though Mr. Du Bois is in no short supply of prophetic words with regards to the continually struggle African Americans have with how they conceptualize themselves within the context of the united states, I feel this quote in particular best exemplifies the internalized struggle Mr. Du Bois as well as millions of African Americans like him face with regards to the formation of a “dual conciseness”.
