2 Glittering Generalities Emotionally appealing words closely associated with highly-valued concepts and beliefs. They carry conviction without supporting information or reason. Their appeal is to emotions such as love of country and home, and desire for peace, freedom, glory, and honor. They ask for approval without examination of the reason.
