Anthropology of the Dutch: Nobility in The Netherlands

.







.


The nobility, in their own words, represents decency and quality.

.
Noblesse oblige, education, language, and good manners are the ingredients to become a decent and noble human being and are the basis of the education at home.

Who is not of nobility, but eagerly shows the appearance by imitating and copying the adventures of the nobility is called a snob. Michael Schaap is such a snob: He has learned the right etiquette rules, language and wisdom from his great grandmother as a child and moves apparently effortlessly between people of all positions.

Original Title: De hokjesman - De Adel
Fascinated by the prevailing pigeonhole spirit, the pigeonhole man goes on field research into the world of appealing Dutch subcultures. With a wink to the classical ethnologist, dressed in a three-piece suit with a bow tie, he analyzes the man as one of the animal groups.
Directed by: Michael Schaap and Jurjen Blick
