Apology

Foreigners wonder,‘Why do Japanese people apologize easily?' From our on-the-street interview, we found many apologizing for not living up to others' expectations, on behalf of the mistakes made by people working under you, and some even for the mistakes made by others. Closely following a day of a businessman, we found him making apologies one after the other. Workers at a customer center also apologized repeatedly, and we even found elementary school children learning about apologizing in class. How will our foreign guests respond to such Japanese culture of making considerate apologies?
