Oh yeh I wanted to mention that Jess brought up immobility which I think is a very important factor to look at. If we were immobile, the world would be a very dull and boring place, and De Botton discusses how our happiness and anticipation of travel provides us with some sort of satisfaction.
Nowadays, people as well as architects are becoming more aware and responsive to those with disabilities, creating spaces that are much more accessible to everyone, creating a more socially mobile community.
And also touching upon what Humera said that mobility can also be the moving of social status, position in a job and inqualities. She has also shown how it has happened over time, and this can be seen over many events- women given the vote, Martin Luther King providing black people with equal rights etc. But I still think there is a division between the Third world and the more wealthier countries, which maybe because of lack of communication. But I hope that after looking at previous events where the social link was separated, that this may be bridged in the not so distant future.
