Good evening guys I am back again with another topic that interested me this week during class. I bet you’re all wondering what it is aren’t you, if you already read the title I am sure you can guess that we will be talking about Chronemics!!! lets begin with me explaining what chronemics even is , I learned that it is the study of the role of time in communications. This topic as a whole peaked my interests because I learned a lot about myself during the readings of unit 3, and our discussions in class. Something that was mentioned in our readings was that America tends to run on Mono-chronic time in other words time is scheduled, arranged, and managed, and things are done one at a time, whereas in other countries for example most South Asian countries use poly-chronic time which is a system where several things can be done at once. This is something I am sure we haven’t really thought about during our daily lives but the truth is time plays such a big role in everything we do, and the relationships we have with others .When I found out that other countries run on poly chronic time it even made me think about situations with my own family and friends. Have you ever experienced always arriving to an event on time, whereas your family members, or friends came late or came whenever they felt like it? If your answer was yes, then I too have felt your pain however, after reading unit 3 I realized that it’s not always a bad thing it just that in some cultures people view time differently for them it’s not getting there when they were told but getting to see the people they love. It made me realize that I should probably take this into consideration at my next family event and set a time but actually have whatever I am planning happen much later then the time given.
