Learning is not a matter of books and academics exclusively, especially when trying to learn about people. There are many ways of learning about a society. One I discovered recently was a newsletter from The New York Times that every month sends the most viewed articles of its online newspaper. Today I have received year 2006’s ranking:

10 MOST VIEWED ARTICLES OF 2006 – New York Times

1. What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage
2. The 10 Best Books of 2006
3. Questions Couples Should Ask (Or Wish They Had) Before Marrying
4. Climate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him
5. Colliding With Death at 37,000 Feet, and Living
6. What Is the Best Work of American Fiction of the Last 25 Years?

Can you see any article about the Middle East conflict or Darfur? With exception of #4, the articles are pretty much dealing with the most inner environment of the person.

In Spain I guess the priorities would be more or less the same, or not?
