Neuroscientists were uniquely poised to resist Nazi racial hygiene policies because neuropsychiatric patients were the primary targets of such policies. In Germany, and later Austria, some isolated instances of “passive” resistance by neuroscientists occurred with questionable overall impact. These included changing patients’ diagnoses to non-hereditary causes or transient disorders not covered by the sterilization law. Or they included private protests against euthanasia of varying degrees, and transferring patients to non-euthanasia facilities. And the least impactful may have been protests against dismissal of Jewish colleagues, or simply leaving Germany. Very rarely, German neuroscientists were engaged in “active” resistance, which was generally futile. In the occupied countries of Denmark, Holland, Norway, and France, however, some neuroscientists engaged in early active resistance that saved colleagues, prevented indoctrination of medical societies, prevented euthanasia, and helped lead to Germany’s defeat. The early component seems to be crucial in this defeat of evil by ordinary goodness.

Speaking about tax evasion issues it can not be separated from the tax collection system inIndonesia. In tax collection it was known the self assessment system; that is a tax collection system thatauthorizes the taxpayers to determine for themselves the amount of tax payable. With the authority ofself-accounting, if there is no strict supervision then the practice of tax evasion is easy to do. Tax evasionis a resistance to taxes that impede tax collection so it will reduce state cash receipts. Resistance to the taxconsists of active resistance and passive resistance. Passive resistance to taxes is a resistance that is notinitiative of the taxpayer itself but occurs due to circumstances surrounding the taxpayer, such aseconomic conditions, intellectual (Lumbantoruan, 1996: 489). Active resistance is a resistance whichinitiative comes from taxpayer itself consisting of tax evasion that is tax evasion by utilizing regulationgap, and tax evasion that is avoid tax to pay less tax by violating taxation or also called fraud or taxevasion.

If we are talking about the resistance, we can’t avoid talking and discussing about thepeasant, because the concept for resistance actually came from the peasant. Briefly in this paper I would like to convey that if we want to know deeply about the resistance we should now first about the history and concept for building the theory. In this paper, try to make many differences and understanding meaning from many references that talking about resistance relating to the peasant. That resistance can be divided into many meaning, and the main resistances are active and passive resistance. For passive the characteristics are different than in active resistance by the appearance from the kind of how the peasant react to what they think it could be different from what they want to. But for active resistance the appearance more destructive than in passive, since their willingness never gives more attention until they can’t stand up anymore. The form of resistance also many kinds relating to the situation, condition and the culture form the communities.Keyword : resistance, the peasant

The author draws a distinction between active and passive resistance. The latter is defined as a mental protest against some events in public life that is not followed by additional action. The former, or active resistance, is further divided by the author into resistance with the use of violence and resistance which renounced violence. She concentrates on the concept of violence and puts the question if, and in what circumstances, a recourse to violence is justified. She quotes various opinions on that matter. The problem of using violence is the problem of the admissibility of various modes of action, or means of action, she says. As every method of protest in every society can be adopted in defence of either good or bad ends, the author focuses on the question, what criteria of evaluation of the objectives defended by resistance can be relied upon. She ends her paper by pointing out that resistance is the most important form of non-violent resistance.

Positive Word Of Mouth

The objective of the research is to identify key factors that can reduce resistance towards a change in club identity. The results of our quantitative approach conducted with 229 fans of football clubs show that it is extremely important to inform supporters about the reasons and the benefits of the brand identity change, for the club and for themselves. Furthermore, the fans’ tradition consciousness amplifies their resistance to brand identity change. Our results also indicate that after the brand identity change, fans limit the positive word of mouth towards the club (a form of passive resistance) and then exit (a form of active resistance).

The Tropical Pacific

Coconuts provided commodities for the West in the form of coconut oil and copra. Once colonial governments established control of the tropical Pacific Islands, they needed revenue so urged European settlers to establish coconut plantations. For some decades most copra came from Indigenous growers. Administrations constantly urged the people to thin old groves and plant new ones like plantations, in grid patterns, regularly spaced and weeded. Local growers were instructed to collect all fallen coconuts for copra from their groves. For half a century, the administrations’ requirements met with Indigenous passive resistance. This paper examines the underlying reasons for this, elucidating Indigenous ecological and social values, based on experiential knowledge, knowledge that clashed with Western scientific values.
