Could you be so kind as to provide your definition of coercion? It seems to me that a good argument could be made that everything that happens is coerced either by nature or nurture.

Not addressed to me but that never stopped me before. I would say that coercion is when your natural drive or nurtured preference is obstructed by outside (usually societal) forces.
