　　Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which form different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.

　　Time is not very important in non industrial societies.　The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such non industrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar（日历）, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures day in terms of “sleeps ”or longer periods in terms of “moons”.　Some cultures, such as the Eakinos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.
