The fourth cardinal feature requires to recognize realistically the ever-chaning nature of politics and the tasks of assessing and responding to changing values.The sixth cardinal feature of The New World of Politics is understanding the importance of keeping the future in mind―not only the immediate future, but the long-range future.
