Visual convention are those signs and symbols that no one needed to explain their meaning to you, because somewhere deep inside your head you already knew them.
For example, everyone knows that a red sign means stop, and that a circle with a stripe in the middle means do not do. What about the green light? Did you need someone to tell you that it is OK to proceed?

Tacticts of Manipulation
There are a lot of ways to manipulate people. One example is: I took the train to North Sydney yesterday from the Wynyard station, it was an unusual train because the last stop of this one was in North Sydney. This means that the train takes another lane while in movement forcing the passagers to exit from the opposite door. I knew that, and so did some other passengers so we face the correct exit, but there were a few people that didn`t know that and so were facing the wrong door. As time passed they noticed a lot of people were facing the opposite direction and were “forced” to turn around, proving the theory.
