Boycotting is a method of social ostracism, applied by organized or unorganized public opinion avoid or hold aloof from those judged unworthy of social intercourse. Economic forms of boycott are now the most common. With the mobility of today's society and hugh number of relationships any individual or group has boycotts are largely ineffective. When South Africa was boycotted, not only was she able to receive much of what she wanted, but for those things unavailable, she became self-sufficient.
