Concept in Definition ABC

We understand by week the period of time that our day to day organizes and that consists of seven days differentiated by the following names: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These seven days each contain a total of 24 hours. Approximately every four weeks a month is formed and twelve months in turn are a year. However, as this temporary creation is a notion artificial of man and therefore not quite perfect, every four years one more day is added to the last week of the month of February for joining a sufficient amount of minutes and leftovers to form a new day. This is known as a leap year.

As just noted, the week is a notion of time artificially created by the human being to put an organization into everyday life. In this sense, the number of days that make up a week has to watch with an equitable division of hours for each of them. It is considered that the first written and documentary notions of the existence of the week take us to the 6th century BC, a creation that is assigned to the

culture bean. This temporary creation would later be accepted by the Romans, Muslims, and eventually the world whole.

Normally, the most primitive peoples and many others who were left outside the world westernThey never managed their temporary passing from the division into days and weeks. Quite the contrary, elements of nature such as the appearance of the sun, the setting of the sun, the change of the seasons and the growth vegetable they were those that signaled the beginning or end of a certain cycle. Many human communities never needed to know if they were on Tuesday or Wednesday, if it was ten or eleven o'clock of the night because, like animals, time was understood as a permanent passing of situations. Other civilizations, like many of those that inhabited the America pre-Columbian, they also developed their own calendars that dealt with another temporal organization different to the western one.
