翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク African time ： ウィキペディア英語版 African time African time (or Africa time or Caribbean time) is the perceived cultural tendency, in parts of Africa and the Caribbean〔http://guidetocaribbeanvacations.com/details/caribbeantime.htm〕 toward a more relaxed attitude to time. This is sometimes used in a pejorative sense, about tardiness in appointments, meetings and events. This also includes the more leisurely, relaxed, and less rigorously-scheduled lifestyle found in African countries, especially as opposed to the more clock-bound pace of daily life in Western countries. As such, it is similar to time orientations in some other non-Western culture regions. ==Aspects of African time== The appearance of a simple lack of punctuality or a lax attitude about time in Africa, may instead reflect a different approach and method in managing tasks, events, and interactions. African cultures are often described as "polychronic,"〔(Solomon, Charlene, and Michael S. Schellalse. 2009. ''Managing Across Cultures: The 7 Keys to Doing Business with a Global Mindset'', p. 174, accessed 2010-1-30 )〕 which means people tend to manage more than one thing at a time rather than in a strict sequence. Personal interactions and relationships are also managed in this way, such that it is not uncommon to have more than one simultaneous conversation.〔 An African "emotional time consciousness" has been suggested which contrasts with Western "mechanical time consciousness".〔(Hamminga, Bert "The Western versus the African Time Concept," accessed 2010-1-30 ) (this webpage article appears to be the author's synopsis of a discussion of the subject of time in John S. Mbiti's ''African Religions and Philosophy'', London: Heinemann 1969)〕 In the Caribbean, "...()hings just won't always happen as quickly or as precisely as you may be accustomed to." Due to the cultural influence of "Caribbean time" or "island time", locals do not have the sense of time pressure that is part of Western culture.〔http://guidetocaribbeanvacations.com/details/caribbeantime.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「African time」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
