English term or phrase: roll over, to
Note that these actions, however parallel in their general nature, are not the handiwork of a ?great man,? of a single individual leading the charge. Rather, they are the result of different people in different places deciding for different reasons at more or less the same time to refuse to roll over.

entregar os pontos/se render
Explanation:
O contexto apresentado é muito geral e não está claro a que tipo de "ações" ele se refere.

Entretanto, "roll-over" é uma atitude de submissão, entrega, como nos cães.

Tips & Tricks
This trick is a quite hard one: your dog will have to lay with his belly up, and not many dogs like this position (it means "I surrender completely to you"...). So if your dog doesn't like to roll over, don't insist too much: there are plenty of other tricks you can teach him! :-)
