Boycott

The video tutorial discusses the concept of a boycott, defining it as a form of protest involving the refusal to use, buy, or deal with a person, organization, or country. It explains the origin of the term, which comes from Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott, an Englishman involved in a land dispute in Ireland in 1880. The Irish Land League's protest against Boycott's refusal to reduce rents led to the community shunning him, giving rise to the term. The video concludes with a light-hearted personal reflection on the desire to have one's name stand for something significant.
