ELI5 mode

Moral suasion is the practice of influencing people's behavior or decisions through appeals to their conscience, ethics, or social values, rather than through force, laws, or incentives. In contemporary settings, it's often used by leaders, organizations, or governments to promote voluntary compliance, such as in environmental advocacy or economic policy, highlighting its subtle power in shaping societal norms without overt authority.
