Being sensitive people, Jamaicans are unappreciative of criticism, however rebukes will always be the result when people fail to improve themselves. Even more serious is the unfortunate reality that policymakers think that Jamaica can advance when the national culture is an impediment to progress. There is a robust link between culture and economic growth and the predominant cultural traits in Jamaica are positively associated with economic stagnation. People joke about the notion of "Jamaica time" without recognising that a lack of regard for time is linked to lower productivity. Some even dear to use the term "dunce" as a compliment since they don't understand that many problems stem from Jamaicans being or acting like stupid people. A case in point is the decision of taximen to plunge the country into chaos by striking and assaulting strikebreakers and passengers.
