- Brazilians view time as something flexible. They put more emphasis on people, relationships, and completion of transactions rather than set schedules.
- While the bus, train, and plane schedules are generally adhered to, showing up late to a party or social function is quite common.
- While some North Americans view the Brazilian perception of time and acceptance of tardiness as a lack of caring, many Brazilians wonder why North Americans are more attentive to schedules than to human needs.
