I am trying to put up a light fixture but it has three wires a white one a black one and a Coppertone where does the coopertoned wire go?
The bare copper wire is a ground wire. if your old electrical system only has black and white, then you don't have a ground wire to hook the new fixture's ground to. Safest bet is to run a ground wire to that junction box (or hire an electrician to do that). If the box in the ceiling (I'm assuming its a ceiling fixture) is metal, the home's electrical system ground wire may be attached to the metal box itself. If that's the case, you simply need to attach your new fixture's ground wire (the bare copper one) to the metal box. If in doubt -- have an electrician look at it.

In the USA we call it the ground.

The earth is attached in the main box to a copper rod hammered into the ground. This makes it easier for electricity to get to the ground.
