Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Nowadays, given the changes in family and social structures that have overthrown the traditional family system (that is, the typical family whose spouses were married until the end have been moved to a society in which there are divorces, assembled families, single-parent families, etc.) have suppressed the figures of discipline and family hierarchy that, until that moment, were represented in the figures of the father and mother of the family, which were ultimately images similar to those of the State power structures (that is, it was educated from the teaching of respect for the hierarchy).
Today, with this disruption, many of these hierarchical representations have been lost, which has generated that many young people have begun to take attitudes of rebellion and indiscipline, motivated by the lack of a strong hierarchical and disciplinary role in their family environment.
