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.
