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.
