In all decisions there exists one unique factor with the potential for dominating, even outright annihilating an original objective, purpose or intention altogether. That factor is time. In fact, it may be the underlying reason for a particular decision or course of action altogether. Especially profound are time’s effects on strategic decisions as conceivably long intervals and concomitant risk synthesize to produce a myriad of vulnerabilities. For example, the time value of money permeates any and all capital investment with a fundamental understanding that capital here and now has added value over the same amount in the future. Furthermore, experienced investors recognize there exists a direct correlation between a term of a bond and interest rates which affect stability of the principal; longer terms equate to riskier and elevated investment volatility. One will also find time a key component in formulations of mathematics, physics, and economics just to name a few. Amortizing a mortgage, calculations of speed and actuarial charts for life insurance are only a handful of applications that rely on time as an essential factor. Even more subtle is time’s ubiquitous nature as it suffuses the human equation.
A more abstract understanding of time indicates the existence of a dichotomous perception and corresponding application amid the world 's cultures. This dichotomy generally splits between what one might associate with "old world" and "new world." While
The behaviour of markets and investors, the decision making in the market place and the dynamics of demand and supply in any given market cannot be determined with a hundred percent accuracy. However master minds in the past have designed various techniques and theories that help investors make a particular buying decision, or to make choices logically. These theories and techniques help today’s investors to peep into the future and make almost immaculate predictions regarding the future behaviour of the market and the ongoing trends. A lay man night view the decision making of an investor as being solely based upon speculation but in reality every move that an investor makes today in the market place is backed up by sound calculation and

"Social Time: The Heartbeat of Culture", is an article for Robert Levine and Ellen Wolff, it extend readers with the authors’ viewpoints and research about ‘time-sense’ in different cultures. Robbert and Wolff emphasize that there is difference of ‘time-sense’ in two levels, which are inter cultural and cross cultural. When we move into a new culture, understanding the differences of ‘time sense’ might help us to set ourselves to new people and also new places. The author also describe how ‘time sense’ vary in different cultures is more explained by the author’s experience and research. Having lived in Brazil meaning "tomorrow" referring to that Brazilians usually defer whatever they need to do. To find out if "the ‘manha’ pattern
In E.P. Thompson’s essay “Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism”, he argues how the rise of standardized time, which coincided with employed labor and capitalism, changed how people view time from how “time passes” to “time spent”. Time became a commodity in which it could be bought and sold. Time that was not spent “properly” was considered wasted, which Thompson calls time-thrift, which preindustrial societies were not very preoccupied with in comparison. Thompson explores this transition of the sense of time in relationship to the Industrial Revolution, benefits and disadvantages to the new time-discipline, and a possible mixture of the old and new time-disciplines in the future.
In 1967 Billy Pilgrim was abducted by aliens called Tralfamadorians. “They had many wonderful things to teach Earthlings, especially about time” [26] Because of this Billy understands how time is structured, and changes his perception and understanding of
Time, from one person’s experience to another, from day to day, from emotion to emotion, varies more than the individuals who experience it. Yet time still can be measured. People, almost from the earth’s inception, have had a desire to regulate time. This is still seen today, with all the watches, phone clocks, wall clocks, analog clocks, digital clocks, grandfather clocks, atomic clocks, timers, and stopwatches. Unfortunately, while it is possible to measure the actual emissions from an atom’s atomic transition, it is impossible to measure time perception in different circumstances. Both the poem “Time Is”, and the statue “Father Time”, portray the integral role of time in humanity.
Nowadays, as modern societies provide an almost fixed time-table for humans to operate in various fields, we have far less freedom regarding our natural and momentary impulses than in the past. In other words, "we are increasingly detaching ourselves from organic and functional periodicity which is dictated by nature, and replacing it by mechanical periodicity which is dictated by the schedule, the calender, and the clock"(Jackson, 1994). The influence of this modern style of living on our sense of time can be seen on our relationship to every object we interact including buildings and architectural works.
Theme: Time can be the perception of each person at each different event in their life
Such decisions may affect the company’s profitability today but judging from the fact that high risk means low stock price and vice-versa, high return waits in the future.
There are two major events in this book but, the first event leads to the next events so I’ll write about the first event. The most important event in the book would need to be the first event of people disappearing one day to another. This is important because if this didn’t happen nothing else would have happened, we wouldn't know what is happening if you didn’t read this event, and this event sparks your imagination on what's going to happen later in the story. In the following paragraphs, I will explain my reasoning why this is such an important event.
According to traditional concepts, time is considered to be a two-dimensional phenomenon, with a long past, a present, and virtually no future. The linear concept of time is western thought, with an indefinite past, present, and future, is practically nonexistent to African thinking. The future is absent because the events that lie in it have not taken place, they have not been realized, and therefore, they cannot constitute time.
Throughout its history, mankind has doubtless proved its obsession with innovation. Inventions, especially those of concrete nature, have purposes majorly fixed on increasing efficiency. Conversely, many of mankind’s abstract inventions, such as the myths of classical Greece, have purposes more intent on satiating the curiosities of and providing comfort to mankind. An interesting mixture of both of these types of invention is time. More specifically, how the effects of culture and an individual’s personal experiences affect perception and attitude toward time.
It is paradoxical to have a course, which revolves round the corrosiveness of faulted Western notions of time and its depiction through abstraction, identify itself with an abstract title but argue for the concreteness and tangibility of the portrayal of time and space. A Place Beyond Time does just that. Containing a vastly abstract title, A Place Beyond Time may at first glance appear to properly relate time as a tangent notion with space. Upon further contemplation, however, it becomes patent that A Place Beyond Time possesses a conspicuous absence present in its philosophy of aloofness from intangibility. And although the name of the course attempts to tackle and manifest the complications of abstract and concrete time, it is through its lack of definition and precision, lack of possession, and lack of sensation of repetition that A Place Beyond Time fails to properly capitalize on this dilemma.
In modern society, 'Time ' is generally perceived to exist in our consciousness. When dealing with time, we are usually referring to our consciousness of time; and we are conscious of time in many ways: appointments, clocks, days, etc… This is known as objective time, but time can also be conceived as a subjective experience, otherwise known as psychological or absolute time. An important subcategory of time-consciousness is time-perception. "Many philosophies have thought
