The time difference between Pacific Time and Eastern Time, the two important time zones of North America, is three hours. The US Time Zones are nine in number. Pacific Time and Eastern Time are two of them and the other seven are Atlantic, Central, Mountain, Alaska, Hawaii-Aleutian, Samoa, and Chamorro. These times are actually ways of keeping time as the rest of the world does by following GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
The ideology of republicanism values political liberty and individuality, separate powers of government, civic participation with an emphasis on self-discipline and a reliance on none other than the individual self. In the United States, examples of these values are evident in the political system.
In this sense, the term republican is not indicative of conservative social values and free market principles that define the contemporary political definition of a republican. Instead, the term republican refers to an individual who is a member of a republic that upholds the values of this ideology.
