In North America, the hot wire is black, the neutral is white, and the ground wire is a bare wire.

You got something wrong here: We too got three wires here. One hot (blue), one neutral (which I called ground, brown), and a safety-lead (yellow/green). The third one is used to detect ground-faults. If it transports a current of over 10mA, a special breaker snaps off. Usually, the safety-lead is connected to the casing of appliances, so that if a hot part touches the case, it is grounded via this wire and the breaker goes off.
But that's not very important for a light bulb.
