The correct answer would be boycotts.
During 1965, the United Farm Workers organized the Delano gripe strike. This strike also included a boycott of this product, meaning these individuals would refuse to buy grapes.The goal of this was to cut into the profits of the individuals who they were striking against.
The Southern Christian Leadership helped to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott during the 1950's. This was sparked by the anger from citizens who heard about the Rosa Parks story. This strike lasted over a year and cut into the profits of bus operators all across the city of Montgomery.

Zealots were a political/philosophic movement in first century (what I call) Israel. They were (if I can put it this way) a sort of uncouth bunch who thought the only way to free themselves from Roman rule was to oppose the Romans with force.
That was their platform. They did not take into account that the Roman's were a huge military power that was ruthless when antagonized. As these things go, Rome was a pretty good ruler. At least they knew the difference between meaningful opposition and tolerance of differences.
The zealots did not see Rome that way. They believed that any interference was too much interference.
That's when Rome got upset and the first Jewish War of 65 AD or so began. It was like sticking your arm in a hornet's nest. The Zealots had gained the largely unwelcome wrath of Rome. The zealots were unlucky (in a way). If they had picked a time that a warrior/emperor was not leader, their opposition may have evaporated. It would be like hitting a marshmallow. Rome may have considered it an internal affair. They had up to this point. Even though some of the Pharisee priests supported the Zealots, the alliance was destroyed by the unwillingness to negotiate further.
Anyone who is really dedicated can be termed a Zealot in modern times. I am using the term to describe someone that is Zealous. You could look up Galatians 1:11 - 14 to see how Paul used the term. This connection between Paul and Jewish leaders (including Zealots) is really hotly debated. It's another hornet's nest.

Each of these civilizations has influenced the modern western world in many different ways, each just as important as the next. Mesopotamian society has greatly influenced agriculture, law, and organized cultural centers. Egypt has greatly influenced (and continues to influence) the fundamentals of trade, economy, agriculture, and organized politics/religion. India has influenced the western world by means of agriculture, spirituality, diplomacy, and many of the philosophical foundations we use today.
