Ümit Özdağ emphasizes that apologizing is perceived as a weakness in Turkey. As highlighted in Hakan Aksay's article, making an apology requires courage and strong character.

While in many countries an apology is seen as a simple sign of courtesy, in Turkey this situation has turned upside down. We have become a society that fears apologizing.

Apologizing is not just a word but a way of behavior. This behavior allows individuals to transcend their egos and acknowledge the value of others.

Özdağ argues that the courage to apologize is essential for the widespread acceptance of this behavior in our society. This is crucial for healthy communication and social peace.

In conclusion, apologizing is not just a word but a virtue. The presence of this virtue in society will enhance mutual respect among individuals.
