At times, you do certain things even though you are not willing to do them. The word 'coerce' means to force somebody to do something that they are not willing to do.
When someone pressurizes you to do something that you don't want to do, they are coercing you into doing it.You actually compel the other person to do what you want them to do, irrespective of how they feel about it.
So when you coerce somebody, you are trying to dominate them.
In extreme cases, people use threats to force people to do things.
For example, you have a piece of information which you can't let out to anyone. But when someone forces you by threatening you to give that information, it means they are coercing you.
