The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What Thoreau means when he writes "we do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us" is that we are becoming more dependent on technology.

It is great that technology has changed every aspect of our lives if we use it with moderation and for work or improving our life conditions, That is great. But there is also a negative side to it. It is absorbing most of the time in people's lives with simple and evasive entertainment that does not give people something substantial. And at the same time, people are losing personal touch with family and friends. They are not having quality time with their loved ones.

How did the women's march against apartheid end?​
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Although African men had been required to carry passes for many decades, only in the 1950s did the government impose pass laws on African women. African women were not allowed to live in towns unless they had permission to be employed there, and extending pass laws to them made it more difficult for women without jobs to take their children and join their husbands in town. Across the country, dozens of protests against passing laws for African women took place before the Federation of South African Women (formed in 1955) and the African National Congress Women’s League organized a massive protest march in Pretoria.

On August 9, 1956, 20,000 women, representing all racial backgrounds, came from all over South Africa to march on the Union Buildings, where they stood in silent protest for 30 minutes while petitions with 100,000 signatures were delivered to the Prime Minister’s office. Many men in the anti-apartheid movement were surprised by the women’s militancy, and the protest contributed to women playing a bigger role in the struggle for freedom and democracy. August 9th now is celebrated as National Women’s Day in South Africa.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The Articles gave Congress virtually no power to regulate domestic affairs--no power to tax, no power to regulate commerce. Without coercive power, Congress had to depend on financial contributions from the states, and they often time turned down requests.
