Passage 4
The invention of telephone has greatly eased the communication among people, but callersshould be careful about when to make a phone call or it will cause embarrassments.
It is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning in the USA.If someone iscalled very early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast,the time of the callindicates great importance of the matter which requires immediate attention of the person called.The same implication is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. at night. If someonereceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s an urgency of life or death. The time chosenfor the call communicates its importance. Time plays a very important role in our social life as youcan imagine. In the USA an invitation should be sent to the guests in advance because guestsusually believe that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended onlythree or four days before the party date.But it is not always necessarily true of the case all overthe world. In some other countries,it may be taken stupid to make an appointment too far inadvance because plans made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The conceptof time varies in different regions of the world.Thus,misunderstandings are sometimes inevitable between men of different cultural backgrounds that treat time differently. Promptness is valuedhighly in America, for example. A lack of promptness is regarded as being impolite or not beingfully responsible.In the US it would be incredible to keep a business partner or a guest waiting foran hour, and it would be too impolite and unacceptable by their social etiquettes. A person who is5 minutes late is expected to give some words of explanation to the people waiting, though hemight not complete his sentence.
