It can also be very hermetic,

going on in the rest of the
world. Even after 2001,
America seems to be floating
in a different sphere from the
rest of the globe. That has
its advantages and

is a great place to work, as
long as you're informed about
how the country manifests
itself in other parts of the
world, and within our own
society. Madonna's relatively
