Resistance takes all kinds of forms. It could be as mundane as sneaking out of school without teachers finding out, or a more dramatic gesture: a factory worker organizing a union, prisoners fighting back against the brutality of their jailers. There are nonviolent demonstrations and explosions of righteous bloodshed, intimate rebellions that took place outside of the public eye and spectacular protests that riveted the attention of the world.
