"In life, sometimes one ought to apologize, imo. And imo everyone should teach their children that. It's important, imo."

I agree. But I think these are personal "oughts" which relate to compassionate and intelligent human beings. Societies are often very brutal and ugly...I won't bother with examples. The moral response does not relate to society (IMO)...it relates to reason and compassion. The moral response will always be particular, and it will always be judged differently by different people (and I guess anybody who has gone through the fire and the water and the gossip knows that)...:-)
