  2.  Bang Bang  I don't believe any culture is filthy by nature. All behaviour is learned - the good and the bad, and when they are struggling to survive, environmental hygiene is a low priority, just as it was in the largest cities in Europe, including London 150+ years ago. Unfortunately, when generations of people live like swine, down in the muck, where's the role models to lift them up?
