1) Sitting on the train, dying of heat, and he goes to ask the conductor to turn down the temperature and the guy next to him looks at him as if saying, "What are you doing?" in a shocked tone, as if its bad to speak up. He believes that the American people "are all increasingly anxious to be unobtrusive, we are reluctant to make our voices heard, hesitant about claiming our right."
2) 1."and not one of them....consigned to suffer"
    2."When our voices are finally mute,....incapable of feeling"
    3."We have less and less say about the shape of events which shape our future"

• He feels that it'll eventually turn us into unemotional robots, that the society lacks the voice needed to shape our own future.

3) People are still scared to speak up to authorities for the chance of being wrong, or unjust. And the ones that do are frowned upon as if they should be an outcast. But we are more vocal about our own issues instead of society's own issues, or in other words we care more about person or "trivial" issues when we should be caring about more "grave" issues that could have a bigger impact on the society as a whole then "trivial issues.
