How can link this question " why people change their behavior when they see you are nicer than them" to the concpets of : - will and determinism - the one and the other - personal identity -and ethics
Human behaviour is very interesting. Humans remain unsatisfied most of the times. They keep on trying in matching their level with those who are above from them in social and economical aspects.
This unstability is perhaps the reason for human evolution. If we are nicer and in better position than others then others will behave in genuine manner. They will speak to us softly. Internally they may be jealous but they will never show their emotions.
Competitive nature is an evolutionary process. Hiding emotions is a social process. It is found in humans only. The hidden feelings are not always feelings of jealousy. This may be inspirational too.
This feeling is known as determinism. It inspires an individual to perform with his level best efficiencies. All these lead to developement of characters like hard work, sensibility and enthusiasm to achieve something.
These factors contribute in significant amount in character developement. These come into habbits and later on become the important marker of personal identity.
Ethical values act as checkpoints in the whole process of characterstic developement. These values help in making the choices from right and wrong.
