PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Allege Trump ? The dossier  which is a collection of memos written over a period of months  includes specific  unverified  and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between  Trump  aides and Russian operatives  and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians. BuzzFeed News reporters in the US and Europe have been investigating various alleged facts in the dossier but have not verified or falsified them. CNN reported Tuesday that a two-page synopsis of the report was given to President Obama and  Trump .
The document was prepared for political opponents of  Trump  by a person who is understood to be a former British intelligence agent. It is not just unconfirmed: It includes some clear errors. The report misspells the name of one company  "Alpha Group " throughout. It is Alfa Group. The report says the settlement of Barvikha  outside Moscow  is "reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates." It is not reserved for anyone  and it is also populated by the very wealthy.
The  Trump  administration's transition team did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment. However  the president-elect's attorney  Michael Cohen  told Mic that the allegations were absolutely false.
And  Trump  shot back against the reports a short time later on Twitter.

SOLUTION: Neutral

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jock Sanders ? West Virginia junior receiver Jock Sanders  a former St. Petersburg Catholic standout  found himself last spring in a most precarious position.
 He was careening toward becoming a cautionary tale.
 In February  he was charged with driving under the influence and suspended from the team. Sanders  21  who was involved in a fight outside a Morgantown club a year earlier  had to clean out his locker and was barred from the training facilities.
 "I was isolated " Sanders said. "I was by myself. That's not what I wanted at all. I wanted to be a part of this team. I love the family here. I put myself in the situation where it scared me and brought be down to earth. I made a mistake  but I was determined to turn my life around."
 Sanders  reinstated just before August's fall camp  has blossomed on the field  too. He has a career-best and team-high 70 receptions (seven shy of the school record) for 674 yards and three touchdowns; 168 yards and a touchdown on 34 rushes; a team-high 146 yards on 17 punt returns and one kickoff return for 28 yards. That's 1 016 all-purpose yards. His teammates and coaches named him and running back Noel Devine co-offensive players of the year.
 "I'm very fortunate to be in the position I'm in right now; just to have another opportunity after my incident last spring " Sanders said. "I've just tried to make the best of that opportunity."
 That's something he readily admits he didn't always do. But he realized the hard way he had to change as he faced the ramifications of his off-field problems.
 While his teammates worked out and practiced during the spring  he went to class then a gym  where he hooked up with trainer Wes Brown.
 "I'm a person who wholeheartedly believes in second chances. I had plenty of them coming up " Brown said. "If someone wasn't there to talk to me and help me out  I wouldn't be in the position I am now."
 So he talked to Sanders  said he found him to be a "really quality individual" and offered his guidance and no-nonsense  ultra-demanding approach to strength and conditioning.
Sanders  said he found him to be a "really quality individual" and offered his guidance and no-nonsense  ultra-demanding approach to strength and conditioning.
 "Jock busted his gut every single day " Brown said.

SOLUTION: Positive

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Scott Atran ? IS IT correct to find parallels between violent white supremacism and neo-Nazism on one hand  and the nihilist fury of ultra-militant Islam on the other? A Franco-American scholar   Scott Atran   is convinced that these deadly phenomena are two sides of the same coin. Unless people grasp that point   he  thinks  our ability to cope with either scourge may be limited.
Of course there are superficial resemblances which anyone can see. In August  when a fanatic drove his car into a group of liberal  anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville  Virginia   he  was copying a tactic that had already been used by self-styled warriors for Islam in at least four European countries.
But Mr Atran  who holds academic posts in Britain  France and America  sees deeper resemblances.  He  makes the point in an essay for Aeon   a forum for elaborate intellectual arguments  drawing on a series of  his  own academic investigations.
In  his  view  both kinds of fanaticism reflect both the failure of the liberal democratic order to inspire anyone to defend it  and the insidious attractiveness of ideologies which challenge that order. What makes these ideologies appealing is not their content but the strong collective identity they offer. They create peer groups that promise their own members such admiration that it can seem like sufficient reason to lay down oneâs life. By contrast  surveys suggest that very few people  these days  feel inclined to give up their lives for democracy.
