"There are reasons people do not participate in nonviolent civil disobedience. One is apathy. People can only see the costs of resisting instead of the costs that resisters can impose. Many feel that one person cannot make a change in what is seen as a huge government. Some Americans have similar feelings about voting in a democratic process. If they feel their candidate does not have a chance of winning then they will stay home instead of voting. They fail to realize that individual votes tabulate into something that is bigger than the individual. Participants must understand that individual efforts do not undermine the government but collective action does."
