Saying You’re Sorry, The Meaning Of Apologies

When is the right time and the best way to apologize?

After rapper Snoop Dogg posted a video, laced with foul language and insults aimed at CBS news anchor Gayle King, he finally apologized.  Talk show host Wendy Williams, also apologized about  comments she made that upset the LGBTQ community.  Celebrities who speak first without considering the impact of what they say often have to backpedal with apologies.  What about the rest of us?  What are apologies really about and do they work?
