Answer:

Yes, he has committed slander.

Explanation:

Defamation is a False that we made toward other people , with the intention to cause some sort of harm toward them. (such as capital punsihment or destruction of reputation)

Generally, the defamation is divided into two:

- Libel : If the defamation is conducted through written medium (such as false document)

- Slander : If the defamation is conducted through verbal methods.

Pay attention to this part of the excerpt:

<em>While at a friend's wedding,</em><em> he comments that another senator,</em><em> </em><em>Glen, is corrupt and is an alcoholic and drug addict.</em>

Since this happened at the wedding and can be picked up through video, the false statement are most likely made verbally. And it caused Glen's reputation to be ruined.

Pie

Answer:

The explanation for the aggression is consistent with the social learning theory by Albert Bandura.

Explanation:

The psychologist Albert Bandura was interested on the basis of human interaction and made the famous <em>Bobo doll experiment. </em>

The experiment consisted on testing the imitation influence, specially of aggression behavior, in two groups of children.<em> </em>The first group was in a non-aggressive environment. The kids of the second group watched several times their teacher kicking and hitting, also insulting, a Bobo doll (an inflatable toy with painted image of a doll). In both groups, after spending some time in their respective environment, the teacher gave them the Bobo doll. The results showed that most of the kids, in the second group (with the aggressive environment) were more liable to also kicked and hit the toy, as seen with the teacher; while, on the other hand, most kids of the first group were not.

Based on this experiment, prof. Bandura developed the social learning theory that supports that, both children and adults learn and develop disposition to do certain things by imitation, based on the behavior that they observe in others. Prof. Bandura emphasizes that aggression is a very imitable behavior.

This is why the explanation given by Johnny's parents about his behavior is consistent with the social learning theory, because they are recognizing violent behavior in the video games that Johnny constantly watches and plays. So, his parents are saying that he is acting aggressively because he is imitating the behavior shown and experienced in the video games.

Who is responsible for translating twitter text into more than 20 languages so that it is available throughout the world? which
mamaluj [8]

Twitter is one of the most famous free social network used nowadays. It allows members to broadcast short posts (limited by a number of letters) called tweets.

In the FAQs of twitter, they claim that they have partnered with Microsoft Translator in order to be able to translate their tweets into as many different languages as possible. They way this work is as a mechanized translating machine. Since machines can't be 100% reliable and accurate, some of the tweets suffer from low or poor fluency of translations. It is unfortunate, but machines can't better real human work in some tasks.

It total, tweets can be translated into 61 different languages. Among the most popular of them we will find English in the first place, Spanish and Japanese.


The most retweeted photo of all time is a tweet by Carter Wilkerson (a young 16 year old man from Nevada), that reads "HELP ME PLEASE, A MAN NEED HIS NUGGS". It's a picture of another tweet posted by Wendy's, where Wendy's is replying to Carter's question. He asked them how many retweets he needed to get in order to get a free supply of chicken nuggets for a year from that company.

His tweet got 3.4 million tweets in total, unfortunately not as many as Wendy's had required (18 million). He may have not reached the goal to get the free nuggets but he definitely reached the most retweeted pic of all time!
