This may not be true in some other countries, however. An American professordiscovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour classwas scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., and end at 12 a.m. On the first day, when the professorarrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 11 a.m. Although allof the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologised for their lateness. Werethese students beingrude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.In American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. On the otherhand, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but they also end at thescheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon, manyremained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may notbe important in Brazil, neither is staying late.The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and NorthAmerican cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that aperson who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always ontime. In fact, Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in theUnited States, lateness is usually considered to be disrespectful and unacceptable.Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North America, the Americanmaymisinterpretthe reason for the lateness and become angry.As a result for his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not beingdisrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving the appropriate way for a Brazilianstudent in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior to feelcomfortable in the new culture.
