b. Coercive

Coercion is the practice of forcing others to behave spontaneously (either through action or inaction) by using threats, rewards, or intimidation or other forms of pressure or force. In law, coercion is codified as coercion. The act is used as an influence, forcing the victim to act the way she wants. Coercion may involve the actual suffering of physical pain/injury or psychological damage in order to increase the credibility of the threat. The threat of further damage can lead to cooperation or obedience to people who are forced. Torture is one of the most extreme examples of severe illness that is coercion that is caused until the victim provides the desired information.

Forced or compulsory labor is all work or services that are forced on anyone with any threat of punishment because that person does not voluntarily provide.

Debt-related slavery is one example of forced labor. We are forced to work far beyond capacity because we are unable to repay debts. As an example of farmers, by establishing a profit-sharing system (of course the lender gets far more than the borrower/farmer) the lender forces the farmer to work extra to pay off his debts.
