They did not admit their mistake: 7 personalities who apologized in the worst way

People make mistakes and, in a civilized society, they can be punished or forgiven after an apology. Until then, it’s all part of the process. The problem is when an apology carries another meaning between the lines.

“We usually say that an apology implies certain conditions for it to be valid.

In the adult world, particularly in the world of celebrities, mistakes attract more attention, as does the way apologies are made. A common phrase in critical situations after statements or attitudes that displease the public is “sorry for all who have felt offended”.

The sentence, therefore, does not seem to obey the conditions of happiness of an apology that requires a certain sincerity on the part of the speaker. So, it sounds to the listener like something ‘not worth it,’ “adds the teacher.
