I think that the recent City Harvest Church court case best relates to this theme: Appearance and Reality. This is because the church founder, Kong Hee and together with others, had misuse the church fund that was donated by the members of public for their personal use,and betrayed their followers' trust in them

Thought that this was an interesting one: There is a large tree across the street in your neighbor's yard. In the summer it appears leafy and green; in the winter, the leaves are gone and only the stark structure of its branches are to be seen. In reality,it is the same tree. It only differed in its appearance during different seasons. This can be linked to how different characters reveal different sides/characters of them in different situations.
Plastic Surgery (In S. Korea) “What we do in double-jaw surgery is to reassemble the face,” said Dr. Park, whose clinic has performed 3,000 such procedures in the past six years. “Normal people become, sort of, super-normal, and pretty people prettier.” In recent decades, cosmetic surgery has become a weapon in Koreans’ efforts to impress others, “like buying an expensive handbag,” said Whang Sang-min, a psychologist at Yonsei University.
Dark Knight shooting suspect James Holmes graduated in 2010 with honors from the University of California, Riverside, where he majored in neuroscience. University Chancellor Tim White remembers Holmes as a brilliant student.
"He was an honor student, so academically he was at the top of the top. He really distinguished himself from an academic point of view during his four years with us, graduating with highest honors."
CBS reports that Holmes won an internship in neurobiology at the Salk Institute while still at Westview High School in San Diego, where, according to the Associated Press, he also ran cross country and played soccer.
One neighbor, Tom Mai, described Holmes as quiet and polite. "He seemed to be a very nice, young, typical American boy," Mai said.
This shows that what a person might show on his/ her face might just be a facade, hiding his/ her thoughts in their hearts. James Holmes was thought to be a friendly and intelligent person, somebody who will not commit such a horrendous crime and what happen in the theater was somethings that people who have known him would have expected. People do not have the ability to read minds and this is one incident that present the theme of appearance and reality really well.
