Essay Topic

A topic that I am interested in writing my essay about is the effectiveness of boycotts.  Of course, I know about famous boycotts that have occurred over the years (Boston Tea Party and the sugar boycott), but I am curious to research less famous examples.  Also, I would like to explore "local boycotts" where groups of people from a specific area have stopped using a particular product because it went against what someone believed in.  I don't know of any boycotts that have failed drastically or one's that have been ginormous enough to affect multiple countries.  I want to explore the success or lack there of of many different boycotts in different locations and against different things.
