Q & A on COERCIVE PERSUASION
by Jang inl.) what kind of groups use coercive persuasion?.
groups that exhibit great or excessive devotion or dedication to some person, idea, or thing and demand an unquestioning commitment, may potentially rationalize using the "means" of coercive persuasion to advance the "ends" of their group.. groups which use coercive persuasion often involve selection and culling techniques to identify the most suggestible or malleable, and to isolate and remove the least suggestible or malleable.
some large groups have detailed manuals to train designated specialists in sales or recruiting on who are the best targets.

Believing in Yourself -
by Jang inthere may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be.. that's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.. there are times when people disappoint you and let you down.. but those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.. there will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.. constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you.
it may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.. so when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected.
responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.. because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.. keep believing in yourself.
