Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kamila Shamsie ? Kamila Shamsie  didnât have to stretch to fit the plot to the times when  she  decided to adapt the Greek tragedy Antigone into a contemporary novel about terrorism.
The gripping novel explores how western responses to terrorism show the limits of our ideals and laws. In an interview over Skype   Shamsie  told me  her  initial imperative with the novel was to explore the question of citizenship  to delve into what it means to begin stripping people of citizenship for certain crimes.
âRepeatedly people in [Theresa Mayâs] government have said  âcitizenship is a privilege not a right ââ  Shamsie  said. âAnd thatâs simply legally untrue  but increasingly they want to be able to take away citizenship for people who they think are unworthy. And they get to decide.â
 She  added: âItâs your own citizens and youâre saying that for all that we have our judicial system and prison system and probation and all of that  this is the one crime that we donât know how to deal with  so weâre just going to leave you out of the country. It should be seen as a real failing of a state  to say that our judicial system is incapable of knowing how to respond to this criminal act.â
And  as in the United States  the notion of terror is racialized and associated with Muslims (President Trump entertaining the idea of sending Sayfullo Saipov  the man who killed eight people when he drove a truck down a bike path in Manhattan on Halloween  to GuantÃ¡namo  is at this point to be expected.) While stripping citizenship might initially be justified only in terrorism cases   Shamsie  noted Theresa Mayâs attempts to revoke the passports of a group of British-Pakistani men convicted of sex crimes â âthereâs no way of saying itâs not about Islamophobia and racism  because no one is making those suggestions about anyone who is white and committing similar crimes.â
In the narratives that she read of radicalization  of youth attempting to join ISIS   Shamsie  saw only demonization and one-dimensional narratives: â It âs almost an inevitability now. If youâre young  Muslim and male  and angry  then youâre going to strap a bomb onto yourself.â But she dug into research on ISIS propaganda and youth who were convinced by it  and found that the reality  for many teenage would-be fighters  was complex.
âOne of the things I was interested in was the lure being something other than violence  and all the other ways that this world that we know to be nihilistic and brutal could also be seductive â  Shamsie  said.
âThere is this link between masculinity and violence that should be inescapable  it should be part of every conversation on violence â said  Shamsie . âInstead we compartmentalize violence: Thereâs the violence of gun shooters in America  thereâs the violence of suicide bombers in Iraq  thereâs domestic violence everywhere  there are men in Pakistan who are committing honor killings â and we donât draw the line between all of them and say what is it with men  what is it with masculinity  what is it that young men do to prove to themselves or to someone else that they are a man in the right kind of way?â
All of these complexities are missing from most media narratives of radicalization  and so also is the possibility of empathy   Shamsie  believes. In  her  research   she  found little compassion for the families whose children had gone to Syria  âfamilies facing the most horrendous thing â your child or your sibling who is very young or very stupid or angry â has gone to a place from where you know they will probably never return. And these families are treated as though they are guilty  rather than as if they are mourning.â
The novel gave  Shamsie  the space to create that empathy.

Output: Positive


Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rachel Botsman ? In her witty new book Australian technology author and TED celebrity Rachel Botsman tells us why it did not work. Who Can You Trust? How Technology Brought Us Together and Why It Could Drive Us Apart might be a bit too perky for some but it reveals some deep truths.
With industrial power collapsed  social media’s “distributed trust” began its run to win popular trust.  Botsman  even claims to have predicted the next stage of evolution  anticipating Airbnb  Zipcar and Uber in  her  previous book. At first the masses took to social technology like ducks to water but few thought through the costs of power flowing from institutional experts to less sophisticated individuals. It turned out that these social media had institutions too  if less hierarchical  but still leading to someone at the top with a great degree of control over the people’s “open” media below them.
 Botsman  says  she  would not have written  her  book if  she  did not think distributed networks could solve many problems and develop popular trust  but the many examples presented in  her  book demonstrate that “distributed trust always seem to lead us back to centralized power ” with Facebook  Amazon  and Alibaba leading the list.
 Her  thesis is that distributed systems need to know who is telling the truth in order to be social but their media technology develop so fast and anonymously it becomes difficult to trace accountability. Perhaps 75 percent of automobiles will self-drive by 2040. How can sufficient trust develop in such a major activity in such a short time? Blockchains like Bitcoin may replace governmental currency and financial transactions. Robots threaten to take everyone’s job. The most famous bot was HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey and we all know what happened then. Some “trust pause” will certainly be necessary for such major social transitions.
Take the number one social media technology guy  Mark Zuckerberg  who created Facebook to be an open forum for public discussion. Yet  after social media was accused of biasing the presidential election even  he  had to reluctantly concede (the second time) that there was an abundance of fake news on  his  site  which  he  then promised to fix in a socially positive way.  His  solution was to balance alternative views by adding “additional perspectives ” including noting after doubtful material that fact checkers disputed the claims in the original published news. But who would do the “fact checking”?
 Botsman  does not mention  it  but Google’s top scientist Ray Kurzweil had bigger ideas. Computers would be thinking for themselves by 2014 with humans becoming immortal soon after. Humans would become immortal under Kurzweil’s Calico project to replicate nature’s control of mitochondrial DNA by moving toxic bacteria into the cell nucleus to stop aging. With age under control people would live forever. At the same time  artificial intelligence would develop computers that learn by themselves. Ageless individuals could then link an AI machine to their brain so they could give accurate and immediate responses to every kind of question. But if this takes place instantly  is that a person still a person or a computer?
China’s Social Credit System would produce a “social credit score” for every Chinese citizen and introduce national networks of shame to ameliorate and control unruly segments of the population. This system should have a bullish future in much of the world now under authoritarian governments.  Botsman  quips: “Today China  tomorrow a place near you.”
Not a place in the U.S. with its democratic government protecting privacy  right? One big obstacle to such protection mentioned by  Botsman  is that government regulation simply cannot keep up with the explosive rate of change in private social media technology. There is that free speech and press stuff but Congress just approved another renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act seventeen years after 9/11 and few doubt that some similar future horrendous terrorist act would make the government’s surveillance even more intrusive.
 Botsman ’s general solution to increase social trust is to rely upon reputation  which is sound  but extremely difficult to evaluate as  her  book proves.
How do we even know if  Botsman  isn’t a bot already  predicting China for us all?

Output: Positive


Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rafik Hariri ? Those accusations by anti-Syrian Lebanese politicians that quickly followed the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri galvanized hundreds of thousands of their supporters to take to the streets in a powerful protest movement. It drove tens of thousands of Syrian troops out of Lebanon and ended decades of Syrian domination over its smaller neighbor.
 The first U.N. investigator into the Hariri assassination  Germany's Detlev Mehlis  said the plot's complexity suggested a role by the Syrian intelligence services and its pro-Syria Lebanese counterpart. But the two chief investigators who followed Mehlis have worked quietly and have not named any individuals or countries as suspects.
 Saad Hariri's comments Monday are part of a remarkable reconciliation between Lebanon and Syria. Hariri has worked to mend ties with Damascus over the past year  traveling to Syria five times.
 Hariri's explicit repudiation of blaming Syria removes one major obstacle to closer ties. It also comes at a time when Hariri and his Western-backed political bloc are struggling to maintain momentum as Syria's allies in Lebanon -- the Shiite militant group Hezbollah -- gain influence.


Output: Neutral
