You’re Supposed to be on Time
Do you understand the meaning of punctuality? Punctuality means “the state of completing a certain task before or at a previously designated time.” Being punctual is also called “being on time.” Being punctual is seen differently in some cultures, especially between Eastern and Western. For Americans, time is money.
Time is a precious matter. A small degree of lateness, about ten or fifteen minutes, is still tolerable. But in the case of school lessons or examinations, lateness is intolerable. You’re to come in time or on time. Germans are definitely punctual about time. If you have an appointment with a German at 8, you’re supposed to come at 8 o’clock sharp. Time is also a strict matter for Japanese. Being late is considered as disrespectful and it’s supposed to be insulting.
Countries in Latin America, Italy, and Greece are regarded as living at a slower pace. If guests are invited to a dinner party at 6 p.m., they will show up two or three hours later. In some cultures, there is an unspoken understanding. For example, when a person is supposed to come at 9, but he shows up an hour later, no one will be surprised.
What about punctuality in your country? Is punctuality one of the values in your culture?
