Please answer each QUESTION SEPARATELY.. Thanks

1.Discuss "per se" defamation. Is it a tort of "strict liability?" If so, are there any situations where an entity could escape strict liability for a "per se" tort? If not, should this be a tort of strict liability?

2.In a business setting, is the tort of Infliction of Emotional Distress (IED) a necessary protection? Which, if either, is more likely to be alleged by an employee, intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED) or negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED)? Why?

3.How does one prove qualified privilege? Give an example in which a defendant would not meet the requirements for qualified privilege.
