| All cultures have some system of
measuring duration, or keeping time, but in Western industrialized societies, we
keep track of time in what seems to other peoples almost an obsessive fashion.
We view time as motion on a space, a kind of linear progression measured by the
clock and the calendar. This perception contributes to our sense of history and
the keeping of records, which are typical aspects of Western cultures. Although our perceptions of time seem natural to us, we must not assume that other cultures operate on the same time system. For instance, why should we assume that a Hopi raised in the Hopi culture would have the same intuitions about time that we have In Hopi history, if records had been written, we would find a different set of cultural and environmental influences working together.
