Loutish behaviour and degeneration are commonplace today. Its the theme of this thriller shot in my hometown in the Netherlands. People no longer take the needs of others into account. They refuse to take responsibility for their behaviour. If you confront people, they just say: mind your own business.” "The man in the street " has already a solution to the problem: “There should be more police and we need more repressive measures.” Police presence in certain areas could help combat degeneration and loutishness. Conflicts and nuisance are a part of everyday life, certainly in large cities. It looks a mess, but is this really an example of loutishness? There are many things that are good. There is very little loutishness at schools and in businesses. But in the public domain, in politics, in public opinion, on the internet, anywhere people can hide behind their anonymity, you see loutishness. Politicians and entertainment programmes on television often set a bad example.
