Why do we apologize? What are the elements of an effective apology? When is an apology not an apology? Can anger, resentment, and unforgiveness be a virtue? Dr. Mouradian will examine these questions by analyzing apologies offered by governments and political leaders, corporations, and public figures. After exploring interpersonal and group apologies (and non-apologies), the discussion will tackle themes of forgiveness, unforgiveness, and (re)conciliation.
