Exercise #6


Extra: Elect FNC members on qualifications


This article talks about  elections and how to vote and choose a candidate. The dimensions that I thought were so obvious and clear are status/ascribed and outlook/innovation. In addition, the status is ascribed because people vote for those whom well known by the name not the qualifications. Whereas the outlook is innovation is when Ali Al Nuaimi and Tariq Lootah mentioned that people should think of the benefits and qualifications before voting.
