Coercion:
General Overview:
Tom L. Beauchamp and James Childress, renowned American philosophers, define coercion as, “if and only if one person intentionally uses a credible and severe threat of harm of force to control another” (Jacobs 50). Looking at this definition of coercion, one will see that there are two components of it: 1) The threat must be credible and intended. 2) The threat must alter an individual’s anticipated plan. |
