In 1963, as a protest against President Ngo Dinh Diem's dictatorship, Buddhist monks began traveling to public places in Vietnam, burning gasoline and killing themselves by committing suicide. They do it as a form of civil disobedience, defined as a specific law or policy that is contrary to the formal structure that individuals or groups believe to be unfair. Buddhist civilization in Vietnam was not obvious to Americans before Buddhists began to sacrifice themselves in Saigon's public roads.
Nonviolent resistance (NVR or non-violent behavior) can be achieved through other means to achieve goals such as symbolic protest, civil disobedience, economic or political collapse, Satyagrach, or social change It is non-violent.

The idea of nonviolent civil disobedience must be transformed from a radical, pacifist ideology first to an African-American religious culture. This was the work of the generation before the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

Our principles and beliefs about the resistance of citizens are based on empirical studies by professor Erica Chenoweth and her academic partner at the International Center for Nonviolence Conflict. Her pioneering research on nonviolence as a force of social change changed the field of research and showed the way and cause of civil resistance to the world. We learned a lot from our predecessors: the feminist shows us the specific demands and the power of a specific goal to build public support for victory. The battle with Jim Crowe led by SNCC and CORE heroes shows us a way for nonviolent resistance to gain moral strength in the face of oppression and rebound. The struggle to end the dark and quiet AIDS epidemic is a struggle where ACT UP can win after taking non-violent direct action to encourage vigilance
