Manipulation refers to covert attempts to influence or distort facts, which can be done in various ways, such as through advertising, propaganda, or censorship. Co-optation involves a more overt attempt to influence by incorporating dissenting individuals or groups into the decision-making process. Education and communication involve providing information to persuade others to accept a particular point of view, negotiation involves reaching a mutually acceptable solution through give-and-take, and coercion involves the use of force or threats to achieve compliance.
