Vagabonds
Older people/ elderly- that don't want change and don't want to adapt
Very stubborn people who don't want to conform
Tourists
Youth and younger people who accept change
Middle class (age wise) are very willing to adapt to change
No tourists don't just exist in the first world, and vagabonds don't just exist in the third world. Everyone lives in the same world. We may think that we live in different worlds but in reality there is only one world. We must all adapt and conform to each other or this one world we all live in will not be functional. As stated by O'Brien, most of the people around the world can't afford expensive vacations that involve leaving the continent that they call "home", they are simply just too expensive. People who are able to go on these very expensive vacations should consider themselves lucky, the other people around the world don't have the economic means to go accross the world for a week, just because they want to. ( O'Brien 338)
The roles that race and gender play in the politics of mobility are great. Stereotypically some races are much more impovershed that others, therefore those races don't have the same oppurtunity to be in political power. Gender also plays a vital role, women around the world are thought of as being second in line to men. These categories are changing in that more minorities are becoming politically impowered such as Barack Obama. There are still not many minorites in political power, but with Obama's election it's a start, to a every changing future.

I think your examples of vagabonds and tourists is a little off. Vagabonds are not necessarily older, elderly people and tourists don't have to be young people. It could be a mixture of all ages and generations. Besides that i think you did an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteYeah there may be one world but they doesn't mean that there is "one" world. There is a major difference between 1st and 3rd world thoes in the 1st world are more likly to travel but money isnt the only reason. People in 1st world countries are more likely to spend money.
