Section A Time-Conscious Americans
. Abstract
This passage shows the way of Americans regarding time 。Americans
are famous for their time-consciousness. His/her belief is that no one
stands still. No moving ahead means falling behind. This results in a
country that people of it devote themselves into researching,
experimenting and exploring. Time is the most important thing for
Americans lives.
On one hand, Americans try their best to save up time by different
ways. They are in hurry to get their destination, push the others in order
to finish their shopping quickly. Racing through daytime meals is part
of the pace of life in America. People make full use of modern ways to
communicate with each other efficiently.
On the other hand, people miss the relaxed way of living. They like
the opening exchanges of a business call. They miss the ritual interaction
that is suitable for a welcoming cup of tea or coffee. The people coming
from different cultures have different ideas from those of American.

1. The Definition of Culture
Culture is a very broad term used to describe the arts, the
beliefs,
the
values,
the
traditions,
the
customs,
and
the
institutions
that
are
considered
to
be characteristic
of
a community,
a people,
a region,
or
a nation.
Culture
also
includes
the
languages
and dialects
that
people
use
to
express
their
feelings
and
to
communicate with each other. It is often difficult to dissociate
language
and culture
since, in most cases,
language
is
the
main medium
through which culture is transmitted. Most people feel that it is
impossible to really know a culture without speaking the language.
In some immigrant
populations
in
North America, however,
the
original
language (French, German, Chinese, Polish, etc.) has been lost but customs and traditions are still maintained
Time Orientation Culture
Past-orientated cultures believe strongly in the significance
of prior events. History, established religions, and tradition are extre
