Cultural sensitivity includes understanding and respecting each culture's unique perspective and behaviors, including their time orientation. Many Mexican American and Native American communities may have a more flexible approach to time, often referred to as "polychronic," where activities start when everyone is present rather than at a specific, predetermined time. Starting classes when a group has gathered respects this cultural perspective, making it more likely that the initiative will be successful within these communities.
