compelled of their own accord

Is Orwellian double-talk, if they are being compelled it can hardly be "of their own accord".

This whole post is so vague that there is no real substance there to respond to. If you want useful feedback you need to break it down and be more concrete.

Not necessarily, If I hire someone to yell at me every time I get distracted from work they are compelling me to work more, but I went into the situation of my own accord.
