(2) Capitalistic Time
1) Time is gold in capitalistic society though it has been changed in the high technique society as today.
2) The linear concept[of time] was fostered by the mercantile class and the rise of money economy. (G.T. Whitrow).
3) As trade and commerce grew, the idea of wealth was dissociated from the land; and the faster that goods and services revolved, the faster one's wealth could grow, creating time pressure, what Lawrence Wright calls \\\"the chain of chronarchy.\\\"
4) So mobility and commerce increased the tempo of life, and Western man regarded time as valuable- and as constantly slipping away.
5) Scientific developments, too, contributed to the decline of cyclical, event-oriented view of time.
6) We must conclude that the view of time which the future oriented Westerner regards as obvious and natural is really neither ancient nor universally accepted.
7) On the contrary, our linear, advancing view of time emerged in a small corner of the world just a few centuries ago.
8) Nor should it be taken for granted as the best way to measure what is really important in our lives.
