The word used for such statements as described here is sensationalist.

Explanation:

Sensationalist statements are those that are designed to gauge reactions out of people and not necessarily raise the level of, or contribute onto any meaningful discussion in any way.

The statement has no semblance of facts to back it up and is often very exaggerated form of a truth that has been convoluted beyond its sense so it serves only to rile people up and not to make them discuss things.

It is often used in rhetoric to drive the points away from discussion and make speeches out of debates.

The Transcendental Movement developed between which two wars?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The Transcendental Movement developed between the War of 1812 and the Civil War.

Explanation:

Transcendentalism was an American philosophical, political and literary movement that flourished approximately between 1836 and 1860. It began as a reform movement within the Unitarian Church that sought to extend the application of William Ellery Channing's thought about the inner God and the significance of intuitive thought. For transcendentalists, the soul of each individual is identical to the soul of the world and contains what the world contains. The transcendentalists worked with the feeling that the advent of a new era was at hand. They were critical of their contemporary society for their thoughtless conformity, and urged that each individual seek, in Ralph Waldo Emerson's words, "an original relationship with the universe."
