question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Philip K. Dick ? Lately  weâve been seeing a boom in TV dystopias. Two of the most successful premieres in the past few years have been HBOâs Westworld and Huluâs The Handmaidâs Tale: the former a solemn  plodding update of Michael Crichtonâs 1973 film  in which subjugated androids revolt and take over a theme park; the latter a stylish and compelling adaptation of Margaret Atwoodâs 1985 novel  in which the United States becomes a patriarchal theocracy. Other recent examples include Amazonâs The Man in the High Castle (based on Philip K. Dickâs 1962 novel about an alternate reality in which the Axis powers have won World War II)  HBOâs The Leftovers (about a world in which 2 percent of the population has mysteriously disappeared)  and Netflixâs new Altered Carbon (a cyberpunk gorefest based on a 2002 novel by Richard K. Morgan). Stretching the criteria a bit  one could perhaps include the long-running zombie odyssey The Walking Dead and its spin-off  Fear the Walking Dead  and sitcoms that play with dystopic elements  like The Good Place and The Last Man on Earth.
The success of Black Mirror is the proximate cause for the existence of  Philip K. Dickâs  Electric Dreams  also produced by Channel 4 and available here on Amazon. Dick  of course  is one of the past masters of the dystopia genre: His 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was the basis for the seminal Ridley Scott film Blade Runner  and his work has been mined by Hollywood countless times ever since.  Electric Dreams  adapts 10 of  Dickâs  short stories  including âThe Hood Makerâ (which imagines a class war between telepaths and normal citizens  who resent their mindsâ being invaded) and âThe Father Thingâ (in which a childâs father is replaced by a sinister alien doppelgÃ¤nger).
 Electric Dreams  is slickly made and intermittently effective  but despite some half-hearted attempts to reimagine or update the material (the boy in âThe Father Thing â upon uncovering the alien conspiracy  posts a video on the Internet with the hashtag â#RESISTâ)  it doesnât really feel of our moment. Part of the problem is that Dickâs work has been adapted for film so many times already that itâs hard to watch a given episode of Electric Dreams  however well executed  and not compare it unfavorably  if unfairly  with Blade Runner  or Paul Verhoevenâs Total Recall  or Steven Spielberg âs  Minority Report.  Dickâs  sensibility is idiosyncratic and sui generis  but at this point it feels more like a piece of intellectual property than the amphetamine-fueled gnostic vision it once was. Is anybody âs  mind really blown by the is-our-world-real-or-just-a-simulation conundrum posed by âReal Life â for example  after weâve seen not only Total Recall but The Matrix and Westworld and a hundred other iterations of it?
The problem  however  isnât just overfamiliarity. Dystopias draw their power from an analysis of the present  and  Dick âs once-radical vision of the future is now as far in the past as H.G. Wellsâs was for  Dick  when  he  began writing. This is what Black Mirror  for all its flaws  has over Electric Dreams: The series feels like itâs about things that Brooker is genuinely worried about  not a dutiful tribute to what someone was worried about in the 1960s; itâs the future as seen from the 21st century  not the 20th. This problem is endemic to many of the recent dystopian shows. The fact that Westworld is based on a movie from 1973  and The Handmaidâs Tale on a novel from 1985  doesnât invalidate their value as entertainments or as cultural commentaries. But it does introduce concerns alien to the dystopiaâs imperative to take the worst of the present day and amplify it.
answer:
Neutral


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Larry Fink ? Larry Fink  is probably the most powerful person most Americans have never heard of. And now  he  is deploying  his  vast power to cajole corporate America into pursuing a left wing agenda under the guise of asking them to âcontribute to society.â
 Laurence D. Fink  is the founder and chief executive of the enormous investment firm BlackRock  which manages in the neighborhood of $6 trillion of assets. That enormous hoard of financial assetsâwhich it invests on behalf of individuals with 401(k) plans institutions such as pension funds  state and local governments  Fortune 500 companies  sovereign wealth funds  and college endowmentsâmakes BlackRock the largest investor in the world. It gives BlackRockâand Fink himselfâenormous sway in corporate boardrooms and the stock market.
Now  Fink  is deploying  his  financial clout by demanding business leaders adhere to a left-wing agenda. In  his  annual letter released Tuesday   Fink  announced that BlackRock will require that companies make a âpositive contribution to societyâ and âserve a social purpose.â
Unfortunately   Fink  goes beyond calling for increased corporate responsibility.  His  letter makes it clear that  he  defines the act of making a contribution very narrowly.  He  wants companies to adopt left-wing policy goals in the name of corporate responsibility.
answer:
Negative

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Xi Jinping ? Women walk past a roadside poster of Chinese President Xi Jinping on Oct. 24.  Xi Jinping Thought  will now be taught  researched and promoted in universities across China. (Greg Baker/AFP/Getty Images)
A day after thousands of Communist Party delegates voted to have  President Xi Jinpingâs  thought included in the official party dogma  one of the countryâs elite universities immediately opened a research center dedicated to his ideology.
Within the next few days around 40 universities followed suit  scrambling to set up their own centers for âXi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in a New Era.â
Itâs the latest example of the narrowing space for independent thought in modern China  and the ever tighter ideological controls being imposed under  Xiâs  rule  foreign and domestic experts said. It is also at odds with Chinaâs ambitions to be a global power in academia as the space for constructive debate narrows.
The first to announce  a research center dedicated to Xi Jinping Thought  was Renmin University of China in Beijing  one of the nationâs most respected higher education institutions with links to more than 200 other universities around the globe.
It opened  the center  on Oct. 25  just one day after thousands of Communist Party delegates unanimously voted to absorb the cumbersome phrase into their constitution  alongside Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.
âFrom the aspect of the development of our country  the establishment of  the research center  is of great historical significance â Liu Wei  president of the university and director of  the new center  told Chinese media. âIt is an important responsibility given to the school by our times â
