Since there are so many countries (195 to be exact, and that's just counting those that have international recognition) and cultures in the world, it's not surprising that there are so many different outlooks on life — what's important, ''who's'' important, what constitutes justice and what qualifies as cruelty changes depending on where you are. Even in countries that speak the same language, values can be different. The UK and the USA, for example, share a language and are regarded as culturally similar to one another... but handguns are legal in the USA, while they are mostly banned for civilians in the UK. The UK also has no death penalty, while the US does for federal offenses and offenses against about half the states. This leads to some fundamental differences in the way the legal system is perceived, even between two countries that are alike in many other ways.

* OnceAcceptableTargets: In the past, it was okay to make fun of these kinds of people, but nowadays any attempt at mocking them will only get you in deep trouble.

An example of Values Dissonance between the United Kingdom and the US would be the use of blackface imagery, which formed the centrepiece of Creator/TheBBC's ''Black and White Minstrel Show'' until the 1970's. Blackface was/is also used in other countries, such as Japan, The BENELUX, and Australia, where it does not have the same cultural stigma or even origin.

Very often, the trope in question is AnAesop, and exporting it, or viewing it twenty years later than the time it was created, results in a transformation into a FamilyUnfriendlyAesop.

Unfortunately, some tropes just don't travel--or age--very well. They're fine on their home turf, where everyone understands them and knows what value system they're based on. When that trope makes the trip to another country however, it gets seasick on the way over, arriving at port looking distinctly disheveled and finding itself among strangers who have no idea what it's talking about.
