w05 Feb 05, 2022. Response to culture differences concerning Time

 So we have monochronic and polychronic people, and people-filled countries. Even though this nomenclature has been hidden from me till now, the concept and characteristics that differentiate each other are vastly known to me.  

 I am convinced in my country, Uruguay, we can find both participants. I am a member of the first one. I was arose by good grandparents and a mother who cared about duty, due times, schedules, and my happiness, one of my best gifts received for birthdays was always a new digital watch. The watch never allowed me to get late, in fact, I used to get 5 minutes early, always to my appointments. I practice this till today. Recently I needed to learn to slow down and be patient because I am ill and there's nothing else I can do about it. It has been a great lesson I am living now.

The contact with polychronic people came when I served a mission in Paraguay. They are exactly the sensitive, loved, worried people brother Ivers described. They prefer to lie, but they will never hurt you with a no right in your face. Relationships are very important,  the most important for this kind of people.

It is a good topic to see in my future classrooms and imagine what will happen. how the students will act, If there is any challenges with the due date and persist I know I will ask for advice first because i will don't want to be unfair. . first of all, dialogue and understanding. Thank you.
