Cross-cultural Writing Differences

In an international journalism conference, participants were asked to write an article about elephants. Here are article titles journalists from different countries came up with :
British – Hunting elephants in British East Africa
French – The love life of elephants in French
German – The origin and development of the Indian elephant in the years 1200-1950 (600 pages)
American – How to breed bigger and better elephants
Russian – How we sent an elephant to the moon.
Swede – Elephants and the welfare state
Spaniard – Techniques of elephant fighting
Finn – What the elephants think about Finland
Norwegian – Norway and Norway’s mountains

While this was created for humor, the reality is that even in the way we write a cultural dimension is ever present.
