         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><pre><code>For many years, the company that manufactures Monange moisturizer used Xuxa as a poster girl to increase sales of their products. Obviously she never used the Monange moisturizer in her daily life, for obvious reasons, as the products were lower class products. The company really played upon our feelings to sell more. </code></pre>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Some months ago I received a message from school about my graduation travel. I ran to talk to my mother so she would allow me to go but as I expected she said, no. The next day my friends told me that their mothers had already paid for their travel and  let them go. I went home and I decided to play upon my mother's feelings. I entered home crying and said "Mom, Am I not a good daughter? Am I not good enough?" and she asked "What? what happened?" so I said about my friends' mothers and then, she decided to let me go to the travel.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Write it here:</p><p>I had a friend at school who I thought was really cool. But once, she made me very sad. It was when we went on a school trip to Bahia. She was jealous of me and played upon our friends feelings and suddenly no one would talk to me anymore. It was only afterwards that I realized the evil she had done. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My mom always gets what she wants, because if there is one person in this world who does know how to play upon people´s feelings is my mother. For example, I wanted to watch a movie I had heard about, but my mom was not into that idea. She really wanted to watch another movie, completely different from what I wanted. So she spent the whole week sending me videos about that and telling me how good the movie was. In the end, I couldn´t take it anymore and she finally got what she wanted.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>When I was living in the UAE, I met a girl. At first I was trying to have a friendship because I was new there and had no friends, but a few months later I started to have feelings for her. So one day I decided to tell her. At first she said no, and that she just wanted friendship, but as a good Brazilian I am, I didn't give up. So on the third try she accepted, but it was only then that I did find out that she wasn't all what I thought and most of the time she tried to <strong>play upon</strong> my feelings to get what she wanted and use me so when I realized that I dumped her.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I have always been a rational person. I have always used reason more than emotions. After I became a mother, all of that changed. my daughter plays upon all my feelings. She smiles and does whatever she wants. She takes all my peace and the next moment she hugs me and it seems like nothing happened.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>When I was a child, I was very naive. I always fell for the vicar's tale story. But if there was something that no one could master, it was my feelings. Once, a kid I hated tried to play upon my feelings to get a sticker for the World Cup album. He wanted my Neymar sticker. He told a very well-told story about a humble boy who sells stickers from the World Cup album to get "a plate of food". I knew it was a lie; I think it was the first time I didn't fall for the "vicar's tale story". I said to him: "Man, I know your story is a lie, don't try to play upon my feelings. You shouldn't make this kind of joke because it's not cool. Go fool someone else because you can't deceive me."</p>]]></description>

But then he plays upon me saying, "Aunt, play with me just for 5 minutes, please!" and I accept. But when time is over, he plays upon again saying, "Just 5 more minutes, please."

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Ignorance is a bliss, some say, but it can also be a curse. Social Medias are important tools to communication, but not always used in a correct way. There are many malicious people misusing that and spreading fake news to play upon people's minds. For example, my dad is an elderly, he reads news and other stuff on social medias and thinks the information is correct. I wonder how many other like my father are there in the world. </p>]]></description>
