It is amazing, yet predictable, how influenced we are buy those around us, which makes for a very good reason to be sure you know the company you are keeping! We seem to take on the habits and characteristics of those we are most close too and that is why we must carefully and purposefully choose the people we are friends with. There is strength in numbers and the bonds formed in close friendships will keep us united during the storms of life.
Of course we all know the old saying, "You cannot pick your family, you can pick your friends, just do not pick your friends nose!"
1 Corinthians 15:33 (NKJV) says, "Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good habits."
The below video, from the classic show Candid Camera, truly emphasizes the undo influence felt by even a stranger.

interesting clip. 'Course most people are trained by all groups they grow up around to go with the crowd. The results do not surprise.
