Civil disobedience encompasses the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government or of an occupying power without resorting to physical violence. Civil disobedience has been used in nonviolent resistance movements in India (Gandhi's social welfare campaigns and campaigns to speed up independence from the Britsh Empire), in South Africa in the fight against apartheid, in the American Civil Rights Movement in the fight against segregation and disfranchisement, and in Europe, for example in the Scandinavian resistance to Nazi occupation.

It is not altogether a bad thing especially when disobeying a wicked or high-handed government.
However, the people must be willing to risk their livelihoods & lives as such governments will not hesitate to use force against them.
