She called the waiter back to the table, apologized for bothering her, then politely ask her if she could bring her another bowl of soup because hers was cold. The waiter said she was sorry and that she would bring another bowl out right away. When the waiter returned with another bowl, my mom apologizes once again for any inconvenience she may have caused.

The purpose of this type of apologize does not mean to say sorry, but to show a sympathy expression for a person who faces something misfortune in life. In the article Legal Consequences of Apologizing, Peter Rehm and Denise Beatty point out the goal of sympathy apologize is to help other people feel better: “Injured persons need to receive an apology or other expression of sympathy as part of the healing process” (116). A loving and caring person would use this type of apologize to share the pain with the broken person. A good situation to use sympathy apology is when a person who lost their loving one, or been through some sort of physical and mentally ill, would need a sympathy apology to encourage and help that person to heal the pain.

In the video, Randy Pausch talks about saying sorry. Now, saying sorry is something that people, as a whole, do every day of their lives. But he sheds a new light on these two small words. He tells his audience how to say sorry. He talks about how you must first, “of course,” say sorry,” then you must say “what I did was wrong,” after that you have to say “I feel badly that I hurt you,” and then finally, the most important part, asking “how can I make this better?” By telling people how to say sorry, Randy Pausch shows his audience how to move forward in life, by properly saying two words that we use every

Even if it is just apologizing for something you have done, it can make a big difference in the minds of most people. It takes a big person to apologize for something, even though deep down you do not necessarily want to. In the mistake that I made recently, which I do not really want to get into details about, I wrote a letter to apologize for what I had done. I wanted to write it but at the same time I didn’t. I knew as soon as it happened that it was wrong and I should not have done it, but at the same time I am not really sure if I wanted to apologize for it.

Plato's The Apology is an account of the speech Socrates makes at the trial in which he is charged with not recognizing the gods recognized by the state, inventing new deities, and corrupting the youth of Athens. Socrates' speech, however, is by no means an "apology" in our modern understanding of the word. The name of the dialogue derives from the Greek "apologia," which translates as a defense, or a speech made in defense. Thus, in The Apology, Socrates attempts to defend himself and his conduct--certainly not to apologize for it.

Apologizing is one of the most salient things to do in life because incurable conflicts create such deep and destroying emotions. Even after a fight stops, there is still bitterness, mournful and enraged feelings. Without forgiveness and saying sorry, people stay closed within this space of sad feelings that do not do any good. The quote tells us how to be strong when a wanted apology does not come. Sometimes, when a fight has ended, it is hard to be the one who apologizes first. There are often hard feelings. To be the one who breaks the ice can be very challenging, and you have to be brave.

The Apology is a piece of writing, where Socrates is addressing all of his accusers about the all of the wrongdoings that he has been accused of having a part in. The story starts off in a courtroom, where Socrates is addressing the men of Athens about the persuasive words of his accusers (Plato 1). Socrates states that he is a man of old age, being over seventy years old (1). He states that this trial is the first time he has ever been in a court of law, and he asks them to excuse any language that he may repeat (1). The Apology is a great piece of literature that gives the arguments of Socrates, in his defense, to the two accusation brought on him by his accusers.

Let me just start off by apologizing for a bunch of my nuances. I'm sorry for the pile of music sheets that are going to be scattered across the dining table. I'm sorry for the late night snacks I will be munching on as I browse YouTube videos and sing late night karaoke, all the way to the morning. I'll be sorry for the corny jokes, and the disgustingly cheesy humor I will be sneaking into our conversations. I (might) apologize for the milk snorting out your noise as you laugh (and cry) at my non-existent dance skills. I promise ( and won't be sorry) that I will devour the last doughnut as we watch Friends together. As long as you keep this between you and me, I won't be sorry for all the gossip that will be exchanged between us about the
