Concepts of Time
Did you know that usually, individuals from Latin America are more 'relaxed' about time than we are used to here in the U.S.?
For instance, in the U.S., if you are invited to a party that begins at 7:00 PM, at what time would you arrive? If you answered that you would arrive at 7:00 PM or close to it, then you might be surprised to know that for a Latin American, it would not be uncommon to arrive half-hour to 2 hours after the start time! This diffence in concepts of time is called Chromemics.
Learn about 'Latin American time' with the video below, and based on the video, list 2 concepts of time in Latin America that are different to yours and explain how they are different.
