  • The subtopic of the interview is clear and the questions make sense and are in a logical flow, but it seems that the questions can be more provacative to dig some more deep opnions of the interviewee.

  • Actually, a few of the questions end up answering other questions: you asked about the economy in question 7, but 9, 11, and 12 all say that the economy hasn't improved. Resolve this issue.

    Also, a few other things to fix. 1) Question 1 is a "trap," since anyone who supported the riot has got to be bad. 2) Question 4 is very general. Narrow it down. 3)
