Why does a strong acid react differently in water than a strong base?

Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
