When I was in anthropology, many of the cultures I studied had very vague concepts of time (sunrise/sunset, passage of stars and constellations, different seasons). One of my professors spent two weeks about how time was a Western construct and how people want to go to such great lengths to have such precise measurement of it.
The very lengthy discussion around the concept was fascinating to me as a 23 year old college student who only knew it from one perspective.
