Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coercion involves forcing someone to act in a certain way by use of pressure or threats, which is not an ethical or intended purpose of persuasive speaking. Persuasive speaking aims to influence listeners in a positive manner, such as reinforcing attitudes, motivating action, or changing beliefs, without resorting to force or intimidation.
