This study aims to explore the concept of resistance in developing countries, drawing on the theoretical framework developed by the philosopher James Scott. The study focuses particularly on the subtle and covert forms of resistance practiced by ordinary people in their daily lives, which are often overlooked in traditional analyses of resistance.

The significance of this study lies in its contribution to a broader understanding of the concept of resistance, providing a more comprehensive and accurate view of this complex phenomenon. It also assists policymakers in understanding the motivations behind resistance and developing more effective strategies to address social unrest. The primary research problem is the need for a deeper understanding of the nature of resistance in developing countries and how this resistance interacts with existing political and social systems.
