Nonviolent Resistance: This is a method of social change that employs strategies such as protests and strikes but avoids violence. Like civil disobedience, it's about making a point without causing physical harm.
Direct Action: This term refers to political activities designed to have an immediate impact. It includes things like sit-ins and marches which are often forms of civil disobedience.
Passive Resistance: This is another term for nonviolent resistance where protestors intentionally refrain from reacting violently even in self-defense. It's similar to civil disobedience in its peaceful approach but can also include actions like accepting punishment without fighting back.
