Out of all the appeals to emotion I found that appealing to fear was the most interesting. I found that mostly politicians and advertisers use this type of appeal to manipulate people into buying the proposed product or to vote a certain way. Also it is used in everyday life such as driving and in making other critical life decisions.
An example of an appeal to emotion would be like Someone telling someone they should not drive fast in the snow or bad weather. The other person might ask why not but then the first person just has to throw in the other person's life. The second person then starts taking in and thinking of the damage it could cause if they crashed or something else serious had happened. This is a good argument because the first person uses the appeal to emotion in a good and appropriate way so that the second person is not scared into making a bad decision.
