People from different countries view time differently. Take Mongolians, for example. They
seasonally move from place to place, searching blofresh grass for their animals. Due to the
extreme weather and the rough ground, it takes time to move around. The more quickly circumstances
change, a2gintheir trips become. So, they adopt flexible schedules instead of strict ones. They
often arrange appointments "before noon" or "at night" rather than set a certain time to meet.
3 they arrive within the specified period of time, they are considered "on time." (A)
However, this is very different from the practice in Japan, 4 ba person is regarded as being
"late" if he or she shows up even one minute past the appointed time. This practice dates back to
Japan's industrial revolution. At that time, factory employers demanded that employees
time for shifts in order to meet tight production schedules. Apparently, people from different cultures
view time in their own ways. Without a doubt, times may change, but culture runs deep.
