    1. After three years of costly fighting, the insurrection was finally brought to an end when, in a daring operation on March 23, 1901, led by Gen. Frederick Funston, Aguinaldo was captured in his secret headquarters at Palanan in northern Luzon. Aguinaldo took an oath of allegiance to the United States, was granted a pension from the U.S. government, and retired to private life.

      With the overwhelming forces of the United States, it's reasonable for Aguinaldo to surrender by taking an oath of allegiance to his captors. From the start until the end of the insurrection, Aguinaldo was courageous to serve his motherland. Although this may seem he's surrendering the country and his honor also, this was a courageous act for honor's sake. Aguinaldo admits that the United States overwhelmed them, and to continue fighting will only lead to more lives lost to a losing battle. Aguinaldo's courageous act to preserve his men is courage in itself and an honor to their lives. He knew the condemnations he will receive, yet to courageously act in fear of them is not honoring what could've been lost and a courageous act to begin with.

      For although brave men are passionate, nevertheless they choose courageous acts (in part) for honor's sake, knowing the perils which lie ahead (Aristotle: Nichomachean Ethics, book 3).

    2. By the morning of February 5 the Filipinos, who had fought bravely, had been defeated at all points. While the fighting was in progress, Aguinaldo issued a proclamation of war against the United States, which immediately sent reinforcements to the Philippines. The Filipino government fled northward. In November 1899 the Filipinos resorted to guerrilla warfare.

      The "courage" of the citizen-soldier, who faces danger because he is ashamed of the reproach of his peers and wants to win honor (Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics).

      Aguinaldo demonstrated the courage of a citizen-soldier by facing a superpower, United States, to avoid the shame of being a subject of it. Due to the firepower of the United States, the Filipino government, led by Aguinaldo, had to flee northward and resort to guerrilla warfare. This course of action was not a cowardly one but a wise decision to keep their numbers and prepare to fight the Americans through guerilla warfare.

      At times courageous soldiers do not stand their post but withdraw to attack later, as the Spartans at Platea (Plato, Laches, 191c).

    1. Preliminary results from the first year are tantalizing for anyone interested in solutions to address rising inequality in the United States, especially as they manifest along racial and gender lines. Within the first year, the study’s participants obtained jobs at twice the rate of the control group. At the beginning of the study, 28 percent of the participants had full-time employment, and after the first year, that number rose to 40 percent.

      This is what happened when 125 participants were given $500/month over two years to see what would happen.

    1. It is clear, then, that rhetorical study, in its strict sense, is concerned with the modes of persuasion. Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration, since we are most fully persuaded when we consider a thing to have been demonstrated. The orator's demonstration is an enthymeme, and this is, in general, the most effective of the modes of persuasion.

      rhetoric vs. persuasion?

    2. Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration, since we are most fully persuaded when we consider a thing to have been demonstrated.
