Emotional expressionAn emotional expression is a behavior that communicates an emotional state or attitude. It can be verbal or nonverbal, and can occur with or without self-awareness. Emotional expressions include facial movements like smiling or scowling, simple behaviors like crying, laughing, or saying "thank you," and more complex behaviors like writing a letter or giving a gift. Individuals have some conscious control of their emotional expressions; however, they need not have conscious awareness of their emotional or affective state in order to express emotion.
Appeal to emotionAppeal to emotion or argumentum ad passiones (meaning the same in Latin) is an informal fallacy characterized by the manipulation of the recipient's emotions in order to win an argument, especially in the absence of factual evidence. This kind of appeal to emotion is irrelevant to or distracting from the facts of the argument (a so-called "red herring") and encompasses several logical fallacies, including appeal to consequences, appeal to fear, appeal to flattery, appeal to pity, appeal to ridicule, appeal to spite, and wishful thinking.

Event (computing)In programming and software design, an event is an action or occurrence recognized by software, often originating asynchronously from the external environment, that may be handled by the software. Computer events can be generated or triggered by the system, by the user, or in other ways. Typically, events are handled synchronously with the program flow; that is, the software may have one or more dedicated places where events are handled, frequently an event loop.
Opinion publiqueL’ opinion publique désigne l'ensemble des convictions et des valeurs, des jugements, des préjugés et des croyances plus ou moins partagés par la population d'une société donnée. De même qu'une opinion se caractérise par son aspect normatif et se différencie de l'esprit critique (marqué, lui, par le questionnement, l'argumentation, l'approche contradictoire et le souci d'approcher une certaine vérité), l'opinion publique peut parfois être construite sur des avis tranchés, des émotions, des informations non vérifiées pouvant se révéler fausses, qu'elles soient véhiculées intentionnellement ou non.
