Do you think politicians have a higher ethical responsibility to apologize for wrongdoing than others

A. After reading chapter 5 of your textbook, read answer the following discussion question. Be sure to answer all parts of the question and use proper grammar and correct spelling.

Politicians publicly apologizing for wrongdoings have been features in the news for years. In June of 2011, Representative Anthony Weiner, a member of the US Congress, apologized to his family, constituents, and friends for posting an explicit photo on Twitter that was intended to go to a woman with whom he had been chatting and then lying about it. He resigned from Congress a little over a week later.

Emotions like guilt and shame are often the driving forces behind an apology, and research shows that apologies that communicate these emotions are viewed as more sincere (Hareli & Eisikovits, 2006). However, admitting and expressing guilt does not automatically lead to forgiveness, as such admissions may expose character flaws of an individual.

Rep. Weiner communicated these emotions during his speech, which you can view in the following clip. He said he was “deeply sorry,” expressed “regret” for the pain he caused, and said, “I am deeply ashamed of my terrible judgment and actions” (CNN, 2001).
