We are in the era where individuals and camera are like fish and water. Almost everything we do in our everyday activity, we come across camera and social media at most daily. Because your day some persons might have offend other individual, we chose to apologize by making a video. Sometimes it is difficult to dictate when someone is apologizing really why on video because there are a lot of people who are good content creators that can act up even better than someone who is really sorry and apologizing from his or her heart. So you can even think that someone who is pretending to be sorry and apologizing is truly sorry, meanwhile it is the other way round, your mind be using it to also make a video, create a content at the same time. Apologizing is one thing on its own and maintaining and respecting your words Is another thing. Most of the people that come online making video of apology ends up turning it into creating a content and at the ends, it might cause more harm than before. Like an apology video One content creator over a celebrity and at the end of making the apology video he end of getting more comments on the video and many engagement, deviate from being sorry an end of mocking the celebrity when he realized he actually apologized before, it was too late and this is why we can't say for sure about video apologies.
There are many ways to know if someone is really sorry or if the apologies are real. I believe in actions and not in words. When I was growing up I live with one principle of life which is "I'm not concerned about what you say, I'm concern about what you do" people around me always say the word back to me then, they will be like, I'm not concerned about what you say, and I will reply them, I'm concerned about what you do. This will come out from action speak louder than voice. A whole lot of persons may pretend to be what they are not but we time action will tell who they really are, it can not be hidden. There are other ways which we can as well find out if someone is really sorry or just pretending to be sorry, there is one thing my mom called proud apology. It affects your voice tone, your body language and everything about you immediately you are apologize. It has a way of showing if the person is really sorry or not.
From my own point of view, there are still real people who can render apology through making a video. However, I think that before one can come to make a visual apology he or she should first render the apology to the person who was offended or who is affected directly. By this way you can actually come back to doing a video apology if necessary to clear the air if in situation where the case occur in social media and it requires you to clear the air. For me making a visual apology is not that easy because it's kind of going to go viral and the whole lot of person will have this and can you use it against you anyday, anytime. So before one can boldly come up to making a visual apology he or she should make up their mind and should mean that they are truly sorry. Meanwhile, behaviors and actions after an apology matters, whether visual, audio or physical..
