Answer:
The acts included demonstrating at a mass rally and joining an anti-war march
were beaten and marched to a POW camp by Japanese soldiers.
The Battle of Bataan, located in the Philippines, ended with US surrender to the Japanese. The march to the POW (prisoner of war) camp is referred to as the Battan Death March.
The Battan Death March was a 65 mile march from one end of the island to the other to reach the POW camp. The Japanese marched groups of soldiers and Filipino people while beating them, starving them, and killing anyone too weak to keep up. The exact number who died on the march is unknown but estimates put it into the thousands. Those that made it to the POW camp continued to experience poor treatment leading to the death of more at the camps.
U.S poverty line is different from so to say the poverty line in in Afghanistan.
When a U.S citizen is considered below the poverty line that doesn't necessarily mean that they are living in filth. They simply do not make enough money per year. Since the US poverty line is 37,000 dollars, when a US citizen does not make that much in a year they are considered to live in poverty. As if you were to live in Afghanistan the poverty would be much different since they are forced to work in horrible conditions and I am talking really bad conditions. They live in such filth to the point that they have to go scavenge in the trash for food. They find it hard to make ends meet and buy food for there family.
