I chose this photo because it shows how Moroccans are adapting to modernity. The car is parked outside the ancient medina in Marrakech, inside Moroccans have markets similar to the ones which have existed for years, even though they may have different goods and more tourists. That they are using cars to transport their goods and themselves, shows the transition. Also the two men to the left of the car are wearing jeans and t-shirts, whereas the woman behind the car is wearing a pink head-covering. Their clothing also shows hoe society is changing; though the women often cover their heads, many of them also wear jeans etc. so Morocco is adapting in it's own manner while keeping to it's religious precepts.
