Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Nations, grade: 1,4, University of Kassel, course: Changing Societies, language: English, abstract: The topic "Culture and Time" is really interesting because the question comes up what is culture? It is hard to define it by yourself and there are a lot of different explanations available. But it is clear for everybody that there are differences between cultures even when we do not know which one. Because nearly everybody met somebody from another culture who behaved in a strange way or you thought that they behaved in such a way. Even when you did not met somebody you are aware of such differences because of the media. But why do we feel so? What are the reasons behind it? Furthermore how can we be able to detect such reasons or misunderstandings? And how can we avoid or react? There are a lot of parts of culture which differ. In this paper we want to talk about the aspect of time. So first of all what is time? How do we feel time? And how do we handle it? It is clear that there are cultures which are more affected by natural influences and some which are a more affected in a technical way (Hall 1990, p. 9). From this it follows that there is more behind the term "Time" than we think about in the first moment.
