Based on the article about the upcoming presidential election that is related to

this case, we can spell out the case based on the theories from CL1 and CL2 from
their following subtopic, The first theory is Leadership. Leadership is the ability of an
individual or a group of individuals to influence and guide followers or other
members of an organization. Leadership involves making sound -- and sometimes
difficult -- decisions, creating and articulating a clear vision, establishing achievable
goals and providing followers with the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve
those goals. 1
The arcticle above is about our potential president candidate that will be our
leader in the future. In order to be a good leader for our nation future, the candidates,
Prabowo-Sandiaga and Jokowi-Ma’ruf Amin, should possess the following
characteristics: self-confidence, strong communication and management skills,
creative and innovative thinking, perseverance in the face of failure, willingness to
take risks, openness to change, and levelheadedness and reactiveness in times of
crisis. Some people can develop leadership skills through their everyday experiences.
Moreover, some people do not hold any positions of authority or business titles, yet
still demonstrate leadership through their actions and abilities to rally people to act on
their visions for something better than the status quo.
Second theory that will be discussed is The essence of culture, Culture
definition is the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial,
religious, or social group. In addition, culture is the characteristics and knowledge of
a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits,
music and arts. A collective culture can vary by size as well as being local. A small
business company can have a culture. A state is usually a collection of various
cultural tribes. Related to the article, about some issues that implied Prabowo and
Sandiaga will brag about “pribumi” issue, religion issue which is not a great method
to campaign their political interests. Because with this kind of methods, people could
be affected easily, especially if its related to their culture or religion.
Our concerns is and should be what is local and important to us: what
connects us to the land where we dwell, for it is this which gives us our true identity
and which should shape and indeed contain that identity. Such forms grow naturally

when their essence is of the area, the homeland, from whence they are grown: that is,
when they express the soul, the ethos, of that area in a natural and numinous way
because they are a part of the very living being of that area. Thus do they express, in
forms such as words, images, music, song, the landscape, the very land itself, the
seasons, the character, the stories, the history, of the people who dwell and who
belong among such a landscape. 2
What is important is to use our will, our understanding, to reject what is
unnecessary and detrimental to our culture, to our dwelling, our being: that is, to
exercise restraint and use our judgement, based as this judgement is and must be upon
reason and the limits, the bounds, set by our culture. For our culture defines our very
meaning and purpose as individuals.
