A glittering generality refers to statements that appeal to a wide audience by using vague and emotionally appealing terms that sound good but lack specific meaning or details. These statements often evoke positive feelings without providing substantive evidence or clear information, making them persuasive in nature. Examples might include phrases like "freedom," "hope," or "change," which can be interpreted in many ways and resonate with a broad audience.
