What is an apology?

Apologizing is one of the ways to bear tort liability, and it is also a unique way to bear tort liability law. It is a way for the infringer to admit his mistake and apologize to the infringer orally in court or in newspapers and periodicals. According to the law, not all types of torts can claim the responsibility of apologizing, but only apply to torts that cause mental damage to the infringed, such as infringing on the rights of life, health, body, name, reputation, portrait and privacy, as well as the personal interests and rights including spiritual interests of the deceased. Therefore, infringement of property rights and other rights cannot require the infringer to apologize, even if it causes mental pain at the same time. This stems from the principle that civil liability is to fill the damage. Infringement of rights that do not contain spiritual interests, such as non-spiritual personality rights, causes material damage, but does not cause mental damage. So you can't make up for it by apologizing, you have to compensate for the loss.
