1. In your own words summarise the major learning points from the whole of the study programme with particular reference to:

- Apology: Apology is a good strategy to make a situation better. When you are delivering bad news, the first thought should be apology. Apology can make a bad situation better but in some case it can also make bad situation even worse.

On behalf of the Government of Canada this apology is in the hopes of reconciling the broken relationship between the government and our First Nations People. The treatment that children faced in residential schools is the darkest part of our country's history. Throughout the century that residential schools existed, over 150,000 Aboriginal families were separated. These children were being removed and isolated from their homes, families, culture, and traditions in the purpose of them adopting the dominant culture. Tragically, while attending these residential schools, some of these children died and others never returned home. The few stories of positive experiences from residential schools is out shined by the numerous horrid accounts of the physical, sexual and emotional abuse causing lasting suffering passed down from generations.. We apologize for neglecting these helpless children. For this we are very sorry. We are sorry for not only the terrible, abusive experiences you had to go through but also the burden it put on you to have no power from stopping your children from suffering in the same way.

At Harvard School of Public Health, Lucian L. Leape discovered, that many patients appreciated several aspects of the post adverse event apology. The discovery also sheds light on the fact that most patients accepted the apology and did not consider suing. Patients have appreciated the apology that was given; which also was made known that," an apology gave the patient a sense of satisfaction and closure, which led to faster settlements and less demand for damages"(Hodge & Saitta, 2012). In addition, when a physician took on that responsibility it also displayed that they took ownership and created a sense of ease between the patient and care provider. When apologies are perceived as having feelings from a physician to a patient the patient

This empirical method of maturity is basic, but it’s a strong statement. For this reason, I apologized to them. They didn’t forgive me right away, but as the days passed, they eventually forgave me. Either that, or the fact that they forgot about the whole incident. Just because of one incident, I learned a whole lot. All of this started because I wasn’t being careful. But since I learned a lot, I’m more careful with what I do. This experience, you could say, “haunts me” but in a good way. This reminds me of what to do, so that nothing like this incident would happen again. I’m very sure that everyone has done something that they regret doing. Those experiences is what makes us the people we are, in-terms of being responsible. If those experiences never happened, then this world would be full of carelessness. In conclusion, every mistake that you do, happens for a reason. The reason being that you can learn from them. This incident helped me understand that I’m that kind of person that learns from mistakes. Without my mistakes, I won’t learn anything. I would feel like I’m perfect, when the truth is, nobody’s perfect. I’ve told my story, now it’s time to tell

In my email, I attempt to restore the relationship between Ms. Johnson and The Duck Club in hopes of restoring the relationship. In writing an apology, I am hoping to correct the offense that The Duck Club had on Ms. Johnson, and maybe even be able to strengthen the relationship between the two parties (Bisel, 2017). To craft an efficient apology, I had to use communication competence, which is the balance of task effectiveness and relational appropriateness within the context of the situation (Goffman, 1999). Additionally, I utilized the four-component “OOPS” model, a model created for the purpose of crafting effective apologies (Bisel & Messersmith, 2012).

I would like to start this essay by saying I am sorry for lying about an assignment I had in AP Human Geography. When we were talking the first time, in the car, I was unaware of my tone and how my words came across. During our second conversation, in my room, I lied in order to get out, or receive less of a punishment. I am fully aware that lying is not beneficial to any relationship no matter the possible explanations. I know that I broke trust between us, and I am going to anything I can to build back it.

I am working at repairing my relationships with both Andy and myself. Healing emotionally and restoring an emotional connection in my relationships is essential in order for me to move on in peace. Not only do I have to heal emotional harms that are rooted in disrespect, betrayal, and harms to myself, I have to face the harms that I caused my relationship ultimately Andy. The distribution of power is a contentious subject with the relationship because both of us believe that the other is more dominant thus initiating a vicious power struggle. Presently, we are working towards finding balance and peace in our relationship by acknowledging, expressing regret, and apologizing for the harms caused to one another. It is our hope to wipe out the unhealthy behavior patterns by learning from our mistakes and growing together. Consequently, my journey has lead me to the realization that forgiveness in morally just but only when done for the right reasons. I believe that to forgive is to act with compassion and empathy, both of which are values that I find fundamentally imperative to live by. I am learning that living by such principles means making amends for the harms one causes, especially if I want to protect the

Apologies are very important and quite powerful in societies. People vary in how they view apologies, specifically, children compared to adults. Children and adults are very different considering their emotional development and it plays a large role in how they view apologies. Previous research on apologies targeted adults, so there is not much known on how children view them. This is why Smith, Chen, and Harris (2010) conducted a study focusing on how children view apologies on an emotional level. The two emotional functions they studied was how a transgressor expressed their remorse and the victim’s alleviation of upset feelings after a moral transgression took place.

Thank you for the email and I apologize for dumping that news on you so suddenly. I knew you would probably want to think about the situation prior to talking to Noah, and I do like to give a heads-up before I have a student call home when it is something like this. I will let you handle the consequences at home and I will follow up here at school (not sure what that will be, if anything at all). I am now curious about who else might have changed a name on a paper. For the most part, my aide checks in homework so I do not always see all papers. I just happened to be checking homework yesterday while my aide was doing some other things, and I also know each and every student's handwriting VERY WELL. :)

An apology cannot undo what has been done but it helps us to move past our anger and prevents us from being stuck in the past, while this is also the responsibility for Coca-Cola. (Beverly Engel, 2002).

One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is regret.  Sometimes something will happen, and you will respond in the wrong way, and for a while thereafter you will wish you had done it differently.  But eventually, you accept the experience as a lesson learned and you move on with your life.

In school today, I hoped to go to June T and apologize to her for how I acted. Things looked fine and I could see June T in her desk, ready for the school day. I was walking up to her until I was stopped by 3 kids. The shortest of the 3 had come up to me and sneered, “Well, if it isn’t June the fool.”

When I was six years old my family and I moved to the United States from Ghana. During this move I saw a child crying on the planes, which lead me to ask my dad “why is he crying?” he replied with “because his mom ran out of candy and he wants more”. This baffled me because, I wouldn’t dream of doing something like that with my parents. Usually when I saw a child crying it was after being punished for being bad or causing trouble, so I asked “Is he a bad kid?” and my dad told me “No, he just has a bad parent.”.
