Please read the following excerpt from The Silent Language and figure out how time language can influence people's behaviors in intercultural communication. 

The natives of one of the islands in the South Pacific had been having a difficult time getting their white supervisors to hire them in a way consistent with their traditional status system. Through ignorance the supervisors had hired too many of one group and by so doing had disrupted the existing balance of power among the natives. The entire population of the island was seething because of this error. Since the Americans continued in their ignorance and refused to hire according to local practice, the head men of the two factions met one night to discuss an acceptable reallocation of jobs. Then they finally arrived at a solution, they went en nasses to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately it was then between two and three o’clock in the morning. They did not know that it is a sign of extreme urgency to wake up Americans at this hour. As one might expect, theAmerican plant manager, who understood neither the local language nor the culture nor what the hullabaloo was about, thought he had a riot on his handsand called out the Marines. It simply never occurred to him that the parts of the day have a different meaning for these people than they have for us.
