description: We are continually and in a variety of ways each other's primary sources of influence in the world. There are other forms of influence, on the other hand, which do not give rise to any ethical considerations all. This form of influence may be utilized, for instance, when we wish to convince someone of something by arguing with a rational and well-founded argument to win them over to our point of view. On the other hand, there are pressures that force us to behave in a certain way, and we often find such influences disturbing because they restrict our freedom to act in a free and independent manner. On the other hand, it seems that there are other kinds of effects that lie somewhere along a continuum of impacts and that, for the most part, do not affect us in a reasonable manner while at the same time not imposing any kind of coercion on us. They do this by utilizing our internal processes, which are frequently unconscious, and by utilizing environmental decision-making channels to exert influence over us by changing our emotional states, or more specifically our feelings, emotions, and moods. One of the most common ways that they do this is using social engineering. . This is intricately connected to a pattern of conduct that we refer to as "manipulation," which has been persistently associated with a negative connotation. We hear the term "manipulation" used in many different situations, such as in the realms of business, politics, and even our own personal relationships. Although throughout history, manipulation has been seen in a very negative light, often as a dishonest kind of coercive approach, the truth is that it is a more nuanced problem. In this research, we give a viewpoint on the phenomena that is wider and, hopefully, more unique than those presented in earlier studies. This perspective has the potential to explain more benign and maybe even positive manifestations of the phenomena. Because of this, manipulation provides the manipulator with at least some degree of freedom to choose whether or not to pursue a goal (an action, a product, etc.) that is viewed as either enjoyable or unpleasant. In conclusion, we will argue that manipulative strategies that target emotional registration are not necessarily in conflict with rationality and autonomy, but rather are a constitutive part of a complex decision-making process that is based on both emotional states and logic, and that this is not always the case. In other words, we will argue that manipulative strategies that target emotional registration are not necessarily in conflict with rationality and autonomy. To put it another way, we shall argue that manipulative methods that target the emotional register do not inevitably pit logic and autonomy against one another. Although while 5 the subject's rational freedom can be limited or changed because of the manipulation, this does not necessarily imply that the subject does not have any freedom, as we shall demonstrate in the following paragraphs.
