In a clock-time culture such as the United States or Canada, conscient us people would give much attention to writing down appointments on a cale sar 0 punctuality, and to investing in a watch that keeps accurate time. urther, they wou’ expect similar behavior from others.

They might have scheduled a meeting for 2:0U P.M., ; Eat thin aside if someone asks for their help at 1:45 p.m.
