I must be missing something - didn’t we all learn how to apologize and take responsibility in kindergarten? Granted, easier said than done.

You move in better circles than I do.

I find most people struggle to do this, and the rest don't even try.

Do you follow their lead, or do you try to set a better example? Does it become harder to do what you know is best?

Your question is massively generalized. A little bit in every bucket, but obviously I think I'm aiming for better.

One of my newish mantras is: "Apologizing is what we expect of 9-year-olds. Older children are expected to make compensations or repairs. Adults are expected to modify their own behavior in the future."

I like that.

Nope - it disappeared at the cost of "inclusion".

So... was it the blacks, the Jews, or the trans people who ruined it all? Just curious.

Sad if you think so, but no - democracy perhaps.

Edit: Perhaps it's the native danish that tricks me, but by "inclusion" I refer to the practice of forcing and keeping people together - no matter their behaviour. Especially in public schools. Consequences of bad behaviour is not felt on the person doing it, but the ones around having to accept it.

Don't be racist, please.
