The Apology

from The Why Factor · host BBC World Service

Why do we say sorry – and what do we really mean by it? Mike Williams explores the apology, from ancient Greece to today’s penitent politicians. Is an apology alone worth anything? Is it just part of a process, leading to action or forgiveness? And can one generation apologise for the actions of another? Producer: Nina Robinson (Photo: A banner reading 'Sorry’.
