Abstract

In the long list of Iranian unpleasant traits! , the “untiming” and the irregularity has been considered as a significant component in (under)development and it is necessary to know whether this phenomenon is an emerging issue or has it always been for Iranians? If it is always, where is the root of this negligence? And if it is new, the reason(s) that our nation was struck with such neglect, descend from what, where and why? Is it true that the root of the negligence in timing comes from the rural culture that has “incarnated” in our cities? If this is true, what happened to the villagers in Iran and since when Iranian villagers have become a reference group for townspeople?! If this is a true statement that this situation is the result of and peasant livelihood and farming, how is the culture of production, agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, beekeeping, aviculture and fishing, each with geographical orders and also plants and animal organism timing requirements over several thousand years, have been adapted with such “untiming” and disorder? Are the “untiming” and the irregularity derives from a consumer culture or a participatory one? Are today's Iranians affected by the subculture of rural production and their indigenous endemic culture, or influenced by consumer culture and exogenous factors? And finally, is the negligence about time and order in Iranian genetics or in their culture? And if it is in their culture and history, what are the origins of this “untiming” and cultural disarray?
