Apologies Accepted: What’s in a Word?

The word apology has come to mean “a way to repair damage for one’s own words or actions” but it started off as a legal term (we were legally required to explain that before making jokes).  From ancient Greece to Cardinal Wolsey to Shakespeare, the word has changed over time, but one thing has remained constant: judgment.  What makes a good apology?  What makes a bad one? If someone says “sorry” are you obligated to accept their words and offer forgiveness?
