I am going to research the perception of time in Africa. Time in Africa is much more relaxed than in busy, more western areas such a New York City. Africa is said to have an “emotional time consciousness” which contrasts with Western “mechanical time consciousness”. African cultures follow a “polychronic” way of living, which means people tend to manage more than one thing at a time rather than in a strict sequence.

You’ll certainly find interesting things about perceptions of time in Africa. But remember, Africa is a HUGH continent full of different countries, cultures, and sub-cultures. You’ll probably want to choose one African country or culture to examine for your project.
