FOCA

Rarer than japanese punks
"Culture Clash" is understood as the union of two cultures what is difficult to understand each other, not so much because of the language but also because of their traditions or actions.
For instance, a known phenomenon happens with young asian americans. They are absolutely concerned about trying to look, speak and act like the american average and imitate the western culture. The sex topic is usually common in this cases. But the clash occurs when this young people's parents are not agree with this behaviour and they will try to impose their asian heritage.
I choosed this example mainly beacuse I see this sort of exhange of cultures but in this case the only culture that is modified is the asian one. This is more notorius when you see the "Fast and Furious: Tokio Drift" movie. Here we can see the Tokio city as a replica of New York or Chicago cities, also the life style, different idioms, clothes, etc. I mean, we are talking about Japan! Where are the samurais, ninjas, kimonos or whatever? I think it was totally absorbed by the western culture. But again, the clash happens when japanese people oppose to this "exchange".
As a daily example, for me, is sometimes a see some false people in the centre of Santiago who wear clothes with slogans like "I don't f**king care about it" or even "I'm a douchebag". I suppose they wear that kind of clothes because that is written in english (oh yeah, everything in english sounds better), but they don't know the meaning of that expressions or they know it but "who cares".

  3. Actually, I did not know about this! Now I know :3 I think the culture clash is a complex fusion of cultures that sometimes can be the worst thing ever!
    But I still think that we must learn and respect each other no matter what <3
    (when I saw the photo, I din´t realize that they were from Japan xD and I can´t imagine a Japanese talking like an "american". Also, I did not see F&F :C )

  4. Great dude, it's great to learn things like this, I mean, I'd never heard before of those guys, actually I don't use to search or know things about japanese people because I hate theeeem!! :@ they're good in everything! (Obviously a "sane hate" xD)
    Anyway, I'll keep on saying that we have to respect every different cultures, beliefs, people, etc... and if you hate, it must be in a "sane way" hjajhajh (I searched sane in google translate, I don't know if it's right ._. )

    Cheers!
