在美国商业,学术和社会环境中,守时是非常重要的。小孩子在上学期间就学到守时的重要性。对学生用准时的铃声信号,而且教他们时间本身就是需要重视的。准时赴约的人被认为是可靠的。工作面试,约会或者是上课迟到的人,通常被认为是不可靠的,不负责任的。在商业世界中,“时间就是金钱”,在公司中,某些主管人员因为开会迟到了而被罚款。当然,也不可能在什么情况下总是守时。在社会和商业礼节中为迟到提供了一些规则。例如,在一个预约中,如果一个人打电话告诉说他将要迟到几分钟,被认为是礼貌的,而且这也在人们的预料之中。让一个约会对象或是一个朋友等待超过十至二十分钟则被认为是非常无礼的。从另一方面来说,在某些聚会中晚到三十分钟也是可以接受的。
在学术专业圈里面,注意最后期限也是很重要的。经常遇到的是课外作业和商业报告的最后期限。如果一个学生交作业晚了,就会很意外地发现教授会降低他们的分数等级,甚至拒绝给他们的作业评分。不管按时赴约或是应对截止日期是不是一个问题,人们总是把文化习惯限制下来调节自己的时间。
