	Activism may be performed on a day-to-day basis in a wide variety of ways, including through the creation of art (artivism), computer hacking (hacktivism), or simply in how one chooses to spend their money (economic activism). For example, refusing to buy merchandise from a company as a protest against the policies of said company is a type of activism. However, the most highly visible and impactful activism often comes in the form of collective action, in which numerous individuals coordinate their actions in order to have a greater impact.<ref>Tarrow, Sidney (1998).

			Activism takes on a variety of forms, along a spectrum based on the level of effort and commitment the activity entails. For the most part, these activities can be thought of as direct and indirect, but essentially any activity one engages in with the intent of achieving a socio-political objective is activism. Such activities run the gamut from political violence to engaging in debates on social media.

			Direct action (what most people think of when they think "activism") requires considerable commitment and effort, with participants using focused and intensive strategies to exert economic or physical force to achieve their goals. Direct action can be either violent or non-violent. Nonviolent direct action includes activities such as civil disobedience, sit-ins, strikes, and counter-economics. Violent direct action manifests as political violence, involving assault, arson, sabotage, and property destruction. Given direct action requires a great deal of effort and commitment that may expose the activist to punishment, it is best reserved for desperate circumstances, with no suitable alternatives, that require immediate change. If the activity has a focused, obvious, and immediate impact that , it is direct action.

			Indirect action, on the other hand, uses established political and social procedures to achieve goals. Examples include petitioning authorities, voting, or other mainstream, legal means of social change. Rather than having an immediate, obvious impact, indirect action has a subtle impact that requires little risk or effort. The objective bring about socio-political change over a longer time frame. As such, indirect action is the preferred means of activism in most circumstances.
