What if you come to know that apart from the coercion, some invisible force acts on you. Not to be confused with some gravitational pull or physical violence or discipline you know as a force. This force starts to statute on you from the moment when you become part of this spherical greeny-blue planet.
The society you become a part of tends to mold every newcomer into the same pattern that is ideal by that culture. One famous example of this is when a baby is born, then time for getting up in the mid-night, its tempt for the food in the mid-night, its desire that someone should play with the baby at whatever time he gets up. Then all these occur because that newborn is entirely unaware of the protocols of the society. These are humans formed rules which they have framed for their convenience to maintain the structure of the society and for the smooth functioning of their inheritance, values, moral code of conduct, the socializing agencies like biological family particularly parents start to mold the habits of the baby in such a way that after year one or two he slowly learns when to get hungry when to sleep when to get up.
So a force continuously works on you that socialize you so you can adjust to the human culture. It sounds funny when someone says, "My life is my choice!" It's neither your choice nor your will; It is the choice of the invisible force. The moment you even categorize your clothes like, what kind of outfit can you wear for university? What can you wear to a restaurant? What can you wear for an interview? Then at that instant, Sapien is following the force that leads the person as per the dominant established culture.
Whenever you try to break that dominant culture, some social restraint will act on you in such a way that you will not dare to do so again. For example, have you ever noticed someone who came to someone's funeral and wore some bright clothes? Or someone used to go to college for regular classes and wear some heavy party-wear clothes, that person will become a joke! This joke will work as a force to convince the person to never repeat this gesture.
It is not just a matter of sapiens, but it happens very often when you choose; how should the guest room design of the house be? Or what should be the design and interior of your kitchen? All such actions happen under the influence of individual cultural industries, which are assimilated through advertising the framework, that must be followed when making a decision.
Control is the last whip of nature that brought it to the sapiens. Control is not just slapping or lathi charge of police or Constitution of India, but control is also with your consent. You yourself give the permission with your consent about of your being controlled. It is a whole system of control, coercion, and agreement.
