Law enforcement agencies including the police department are no exceptions. In

It is hypothesized that the interaction between status dissimilarity and individual status level is negatively associated with group members’ identification through the mechanism of emotions.

short films that reflect this ironic problem of society where individuals are not identified with their individual morals, but conformed morals enforced by society. The 2001 short film, Copy Shop by Virgil Widrich conveys the idea of conformity. This is done foremost through the metaphor of 'copies' that fill up the film's world that represent conformity, where the composer satirises our society which is filled up by 'copies' of individuals sharing conformed ideals.
