Passive resistance, or nonviolent action, is quickly growing in popularity today as people realize that violence doesnat work or is not the best way to solve a conflict. Nonviolence is not passivity and it is not inaction; nonviolence is confrontational and dangerous. Nonviolence provides even more weapons to the activists; its weapons are political, economical, and social; these weapons come from the innate power that belongs to all people, and these weapons can never be taken away. These weapons can be applied to any situation and have a higher success rate than violence. I have applied these techniques myself with great success.
