FMST 238 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Time Management, Circadian Rhythm, Chronobiology
Document Summary
Defined as the values and systems that guide the concisions made about activities and time uses. Time is a resource that is managed to fulfill needs, and purposes and goals. Individuals tend to gave an internal cock that tells us when to wake, to go to sleep, and eat. Caradian rhythem. (circa = about) (dies= day) daily rhyrhmic activities cycles based on the western chronological model of a 24 hour day. Circadian rhythms are both: endogenous ( built in ) and entrainable (adjusted to local environment) The formal study of biological temporal rhythms, such as daily, tidal, weekly, seasonal, and annual rhythms, is called chronobiology. The perception and management are strongly influenced by culture. Anthropologists have developed three models which define time in the context of activities, life stages, or time of year. Treats the past, present, and future as distinct entities. Orientations, stories, step and procedures are told in chronological order.
