Definition of Emotional Terms:
An emotional term is a word or phrase which, however much factual information it conveys about an object, also expresses and/or arouses strong feelings for or against that object. The authors believe that emotional language is appropriate in non-controversial situations. For purposes of the Propaganda Game, patriotic celebrations, church services, poetry and other literary forms, and whenever a person is expressing personal feeling without attempting to persuade or convince others are considered to be non-controversial situations. In playing the game then, emotional terms apply to controversial situations only, although we are, aware that many may disagree with this characterization.

Example of Emotional Terms: Participant in argument: If you ignorant fools would only shut your traps a while and let me.
