 * · What policy or law am I protesting and why?
 * · How am I choosing to passively resist? What are my methods?
 * · Am I alone in this act or part of an organization?

 * · How do others, including my family and peers, view the act I am committing?
 * · What are my motivations for committing the act?
 * · What was achieved by the act? Did I receive publicity, recognition, or notoriety?
 * · What was the experience like as a whole?
 * · Was breaking the law or rule worth what was accomplished?
