"Tourists"- Younger people who want to explore the world, and people with money who can afford to travel alot.
"Vagabonds" - Senior citizens, and those who do not want to let things go for example, hoarders.
 

Tourists and vagabonds exist in the opposite worlds of each other, for example tourists exist in the third world because they are more outgoing and what to explore the outside world, they just have a better sense of what its like to be out of the shell. Which for example elderly people live in a first world, they do not want to change anything of what they been taught or the views they have lived by for such a long time. Hoarders are the same way, they like to keep everything compact in a space so they cannot let go of anything and they believe that getting rid of things is a bad idea and they cannot adapt new things like cars, tvs, food, etc.

Race and gender mobility play affects by the domination, more men than women are in politics around the world. And Race is becoming more of a change with different races becoming political powers in todays world. For example President Obama is the first African American President in the United States.

  1. I think your response is the perfect example of what the post is asking for. As far as vagabonds, I do think it's behind senior citizens tho. I feel anyone that is a vagabond is someone/family that is not subject to change, and what's things to stay the same. Tourist enjoy exploring her aspects of other races and cultures, and doesn't mind picking up and going without any doubt.
