Why are some people so Fake?

Today in society too many people try to be something or someone they are not. This could be due to the fact that television and media tend to set the standards for what is acceptable and what is taboo and the copy cat effect tends to come into play. People are too influenced by other people. People will stab a friend in the back in a moments notice, and others are too judgemental before they even get a chance to really know someone. I think people put up fronts whenever they meet someone in order to relate to them. This can cause a snowball effect because it effects the way we relate to each other every day. When do we know for sure when or of someone is really being themselves? What do you think...?

People didn't show their true face because they realize that they have such a weakness. I think it's okay if we care about what other people think about us as long as that can give us motivation to correct our self, not to pretend to be other people. But sometime the other people think is not always right so we have to consider whether it's good or not. I think deep in our heart there is a light that can tell us whether something is good or bad.
