Culture Clash: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* In ''[[Space Runaway Ideon]]'', when humans first encounter [[Human Aliens|Buff Clan]], they try to call a ceasefire by raising a white flag. Unfortunately, in Buff Clan culture, a white flag means the resolve to fight until death. [[Poor Communication Kills|Much bloodshed ensues]].

* The [[Yuri Genre]] manga ''[[Flower Flower]]'' revolves around this. Two princesses from separate countries are wed but their culture clash. This leads to some interesting situations.

 

* In [[Embers]] by Vathara, failure to do a [[Crazy Cultural Comparison|comparison]] is shown to have incredibly painful results... and arguably, this is one of the major reasons this story was written. A full chapter was dedicated to what the four elemental nations each mean when they say 'truce', each of which was different, and had different cultural reasons behind it.

** In the Water Tribes, a truce is decided upon by the women, who get together and decide that their men have wasted enough time and effort fighting, or are needed back home. Once they've determined that the men are rested and recovered, the truce is revoked and they go to war again.
