The 1960s in the Arab World - Episode 3: Society | Al Jazeera World Documentary

The 1960s was a decade of change that greatly affected the Arab world.
This episode - the final in a three-part series - charts the transformations affecting people and society and how education, the changing roles of women, improved transportation and the loosening of tribal structures shaped the 1960s.
Sixties witnesses speak of a time that questioned society’s traditional attitudes towards women, the emerging youth culture and the longstanding inequalities between rich and poor. But deeper down - in politics, the media, the jobs market and the family - age-old attitudes and other barriers were often much harder to break down.

What a progress of the Arab world. From mini skirts to hijab. One more thing Israel did not go for war against Arabs in 1967, it was Arabs who declared the war against Israel and lost badly. But, for the defeat even today the west Bank would have been with Palestines. After this war Israel with the help os United States got emboldened and started expanding their territories. Sorry for the Palestinians.

[@arabprogressive6971]

The Arabs did not attack Israel. Israel first attacked Egypt, Jordan, and Syria and stole more land than they already did in 1948.

Well i don't think hijab should be forced. But what? Is modestly bad for you?

[@cathy1154]

Why did it suddenly turn into secular propaganda? It's kinda look we looked like Europeans too.

[@mahirrahman8942]

Because people think European dress are standard for modernity. Women think they are modern and progressive if they wear miniskirt , Short, bikini But why again you Arabs again turn into Islamic?

[@mahirrahman8942]

Are you Arabs?

[@farid7838]

Funny how in the 1960s and 1970s aping cultural codes of the West across the the Arab world was deemed liberating.

[@davidnour6963]

So now you are not "aping" any more, right? OK then, so is anything CONSTRUCTIVE being done??

[@farid7838]

@@davidnour6963 Sadly, "aping" the West carries on, albeit to a lesser degree. As for being CONSTRUCTIVE: please name one democracy throughout the Arab world, or more funny, please explain why the Arab world ranks at the bottom for Noble Prizes in sciences.

[@farid7838]

@@davidnour6963 Well, it did not take much time before you lapsed into your Islamophonbic routine, did it? Aping the West in Arab societies is a receipe for disaster because it ushers in the backlash of extremism. But you seem a little limited to even grasp this much, huh?
