During WWII (1939-1945), we saw disparate nations unite for shared causes (Axis and Allied Powers) and strange bedfellows being created (e.g., Germany/Italy, America/France).

The modern world is entirely network-based (e.g., European Union, NATO, Wall Street, Facebook, etc.).

Contract valuation and the impact of networks and coalitions define global politics and even community values, as echoed in Hollywood (USA) films such as Syriana and World War Z.

Tonight is the Golden Globes (honouring achievements in film and television). We can think about society dialogue regarding new age values and 'etiquette' and how these values are imprinted in the arts (especially in a democratic nation).

Imagine then that an Internet-hacker working for ISIS invades computing networks stabilizing various security and communication protocols at the Golden Globes awards ceremony tonight. The scope of panic and turbulence can reach from the world of investors in the arts and extend all the way to those working to secure post-9/11 domestic traffic peace.

In other words, the new world of networking-based 'savvy' and 'sociology' may in fact (ironically) give birth to a multi-headed 'dragon' (or 'leviathan').

Can our newly-elected finance-minded U.S. President (Donald Trump) balance values with American biases?

Populism evaluation used to be so much easier in the days of Teddy Roosevelt...
