Present-orientated children
Okay, so much for all the types. You now may ask ’in what ways are our lives influenced by these time zones?’ Well, let’s start at the beginning.
When we were born, no exceptions, everyone was a present hedonist.
All the initial needs and demands like being warm, secure, fed and watered were all from that time. But formal education changes the way we think. Each one of us is taught not to focus only on the moment and start to make estimates about the future. But you might be surprised, every nine seconds a child drops out of school in the US. Most interestingly, there’re much more boys dropping out than girls doing so. We may easily draw the conclusion: ’boys aren’t as intelligent as girls.’ But the evidence doesn’t support this. A recent survey indicates that when the American boys reach the age of 21, they have spent roughly 10,000 hours on video games and also suggests that they’ll never fit in the traditional classroom,
because there is a stronger need for those boys to have a certain circumstance in which they are capable of managing their own learning environment.
Now, let’s move on to how we do prevention education. All kinds of prevention education are usually targeted at the future time zone. We say ’don’t smoke or you’ll get cancer’, ’get good grades or you won’t get a good job.’
But as for present-oriented kids, it doesn’t make sense. Though they do know the potentially detrimental consequences of their actions, they insist on how they behave because they’re not living for the future. They are in the present right now.
Logics won’t be helping and it’s no use reminding them of potential fallout from their decisions or previous judgement errors. We have to get in their minds just as they’re about to make a choice.
How we value and use our time is greatly influenced by the time perspectives we have. When Americans come across a question about how busy they are, most of the interviewees usually report being busier than ever before. They admit to sacrificing their relationships, personal time and good sleep during nights for their careers. But 20 years ago, 60% of Americans had sit-down dinners with their families, yet now the number has dropped to 20%.
However, when they’re asked what if there were 8 days in a week, they say ’Oh, that’ll be fabulous’. They would spend that time working to achieve more. They’re persistently trying to get to the future point of happiness.
So, it’s of vital importance that we know how other people think about time. We tend to think: ’Oh, that person is really irresponsible,’ or ’That guy is power hungry,’ but often what we care about is not the fundamental personality differences, but only various approaches of thinking about time.
Rather than distinctions of characteristics, seeing these conflicts as differences in time perspectives can promote more effective cooperation between people and get the most out of each person’s individual strengths.
