Define, compare and contrast ‘event' time and ‘clock' time and discuss why these concepts are important to understand in social work practice.
What will be an ideal response?
People in affluent countries tend to think in terms of clock time, given that business and the working life are driving, organizing factors of life in those countries. In non-industrialized countries (and some subcultures in industrialized countries), event time is more common-where people do not find their schedules and understanding of time dictated by the clock, but rather events around them. It is important to understand that a client's concept of time can even impact their health-people with biases toward what Zimbardo calls past-negative and present-fatalistic perspectives are at greater risk for problems with both physical and mental health.
