Question

This is because in polychronic cultures, time is seen as flexible and events are not expected to start and end exactly on time. Meetings and appointments may start late and run over time, and people may not necessarily feel rushed or impatient. This is in contrast to monochronic cultures where time is seen as linear, and events are expected to start and end at a specific time.
