Us-me

Posted by Miri Barak on December 05, 2002

Us-me - I have to translate this term into Hebrew and I would like to know the excat meaning and usage in American life. The context:
"This narcissistic, us-me culture is slowliy starting to understand that they will have to act as a collective on public health to get the vaccines and trained nurses".
(Maureen Dowd, New York Times
and by saying Midtown New York - is it referred to Manhattan?
My very thanks to you all
