Read the following article below!
The railroad was not the first
institution to impose regularity on society, or to draw attention to the
importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their
wares at daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people have
been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of day. The value
of this tradition is today more apparent than ever. Were it not for public
acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be unbearably
chaotic: the massive daily transfers of goods, services, and information would
proceed in fits and starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to
unravel.
Answer the following question. What
is the main idea of the passage?
- An
accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning of
society.
- The
traditions of society are timeless.
- Society
judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.
- In
modern society we must make more time for our neighbors.
