Time

What is time? When a person is asked this question, they know what time is but don't necessarily know how to explain it. Everyone has a different view of time depending on where they live, their culture, and what they do in their life. Everyone in America seems to be obsessed with time. In other words meaning that their lives revolve around time. In the exercise we did with naming sports teams and dancers, we got a feel for time. Yeah, each exercise might have been the same amount of minutes, but it didn't feel the same. While doing the sports teams, the time seemed to go so fast. But once we did the dancers, time felt like it went on forever. Time for me seems to go faster when I'm enjoying what I'm doing, and slower when I'm not entertained. I found this section about the Maya very interesting. It's always fun learning how different cultures see things differently. Even though we use the linear version of time, I still think that somethings are seen through cyclical time.
