The Sense Of Time

I am convinced that people view time differently in different culture in the world. People have different attitudes toward the time. Men,women,young men,young women,older men and older women are all vary in this regard. There are some similarities and differences how Taiwanese view time and how American view time.

In Taiwan, I believe most people put things on their time schedules in order to save time. In workplaces people are tied to time. Being late is not tolerated. People make their appointments to visit their doctors and reservations to dine out. Just like Americans do. Americans take time very serious, and put business in tight-scheduled as well. However, there is a major difference between Taiwanese and Americans view time. Americans think business is more important than friend relationship, they take business one at a time. Relatively speaking, Taiwanese enjoy taking business as many customers as they can.

Finally, to have the concept of time is very important to our interpersonal relationship with others in our social life, it usually gives a first impression to people and express our personality. So we should be aware of this.
