Part 1. Definition
In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
Part 2. Example
Comment: Enough already. Cut the head off this snake.
Answer: Threat
Explanation: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Yes, they were publicising their disagreement with the teaching of the Catholic Church. How were the police to know what they would do next?
The world's media would have put any disruption of a Papal Mass on the front page; you know that as well as I do, you know the value of publicity and their sole aim was to gain publicity?
You agree with them, with their aims and would perhaps approve of such a demonstration, that is your right. It is also the right of the Roman Police and the Vatican Gendarmerie to nip such a demonstration in the bud. That is the issue here, not whether 'ordaining' women is right or wrong.
Answer:
Non-threat
