2、It is generally believed that people act the way they do because of their

personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the

drinks.山东中学联盟

It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner character,but in many

instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social

psychologist Daryl Bern.By observing our own behavior,we can be strangers to

ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences

are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much

we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our

behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover,we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types

of character—we infer characters that weren’t there before.Our behavior is often

shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle

because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t.Maybe we buy lattes

in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we

always behave as a result of some inner character.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what

they do,though it may not be in compliance with their true desires.Therefore,we

should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut’s advice:“We are what we pretend to be,so

we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
