Summer time
When I came to Canada, it was strange for me to have a party with intense sunshine. I usually started a party and drunk alcohol in dusky night. I couldn't understand why the daytime is so long in Canada. I think many students are also curious about that. Canada is one of the countries which apply summer time zone. In other words, Canada controls the standard time to move 1 hour backward. I will talk about summer time more in this article.
As modern societies surged into our life, it affected many things. Summer time is one of the results of modern life. Standard time is not under control by the movement of sun. People make and follow their schedule regardless if outside is light or dark. This point confuses the biological clock. Even though the sun is waiting for you to wake up, it is maybe just at 5 o'clock. Moreover, you could spend your precious night time with gloomy dark. To not waste valuable hours of sunlight, people thought of moving the standard time temporarily. As the standard hour move backward as much as an hour, people start their life as soon as the sun rises up.
Although people can find evidences which ancient roman used summer time at that time, modern summer time was proposed by G.V.Hudson in Newzealand. Now days, many countries agreed to his brilliant idea and applied it in their country to their official time. That includes the UK, Germany, U.S, and Canada, most of the Europe and North America nations use summer time. According to the climate of each country, the date of starting and ending the summer time is different.
Even though summer time have positively affected the economy, energy use, and health of the countries, there are huge and fierce complains about the summer time. The biggest criticism is equivalent to my idea, removing evening entertainment. Summer time system took away night entertainment from people, especially youth. Even though many people put more weight on the benefits of summertime, the entertainment should not be ignored.
Beyond many arguments against summer time pro and con, summer time get settled in western culture. In this year, summer time will end on 4 November. Next summer time will start on 11 March and finish on 3 November.
