〜させられる~saserareru

be prompted to feel or think

「〜させられる」 describes a thought or feeling naturally stirred by something outside you.

How it works

After watching the film, she cannot help thinking about the importance of family. An outside influence naturally prompts the thought.
Seeing the protagonist striving so hard deeply moves her. This form also expresses emotions that arise naturally.
Compared with simply saying 「考えます」, 「考えさせられます」 puts more emphasis on something outside us prompting an inner response.
In these two sentences, no one gives an order. The film and the sight of someone striving stir an inner response, unlike being forced to do something.
