It would be safe to say that, very often, the cultures that are run by time are those which appear to have the fastest pace. The United States – as one of the fastest paced societies of the world – fits this idea completely. Most people from the United States can honestly say that they often feel rushed. This may be partly due to the fact that many Americans strive for the “American Dream” – the epitome of success, luxury and happiness. The concept is often regarded as an illusion; yet by pressuring its citizens to constantly do more, earn more, and consume more – in order to achieve more – the ideals of American society drive people to constantly be in a hurried state of mind.
