Emily Webb George Gibbs
1,794 wordsAccording to Hall the experience of time "varies in detail from class to class, by occupation, and sex and age within our own culture." (Hall, 1984: 133) Thus its perception is highly subjective. While some people may experience time as running very fast at the same time others can feel it drag.
