What are two non-violent actions used to solve conflict?

• A. Sit-Down Strikes and Boycotts
• B. Armed protests and blockades
• C. Violent protests and riots
• D. Economic sanctions and tariffs

Answer: (A)

Nonviolent actions to resolve conflict use collective pressure that does not harm people. Sit-down strikes involve workers occupying the workplace and refusing to work, which stops production and demonstrates their bargaining power while staying nonviolent. Boycotts rely on pulling support away from a product or service, reducing demand and pressuring leaders or companies to change. These tactics work by creating economic or social pressure and public visibility, prompting negotiation or policy changes without violence.

The other options describe actions that either involve violence (armed protests and riots) or are governmental economic tools (tariffs and sanctions) rather than two activist methods used to resolve disputes through nonviolent means.
