In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA, guests will feel they are not highly
regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is only three or four days before the party date. But it is not
true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment
too early because plans that are made for a date more than a week away will be forgotten. The meaning
of time is different in different parts of the world. Therefore, misunderstandings appear between people
from different cultures that treat time differently. Being on time is thought of highly in American life. If
people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite. In the USA, keeping business companies
waiting for an hour is too impolite. A person is expected to say sorry when he is 5 minutes late. lf he is
less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the
sentence.
