Many people write to newspaper and magazines express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry
the writer"s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication.
This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what
they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the
name of the game.
"People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse
to accept responsibility for the relationship," said social worker Ken Yip, "and this is what is causing a lot of
family problems." When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature
is symbol of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations
will not process writer"s complaints if they do not bear the writer"s signature. The absence of a signature, they
explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.
There are people who wish to remain anonymous (匿名的) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King
donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the
publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people
insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses
may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.
Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have
a name, it is a matter if responsibility to it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want
to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we
honour what we say.
B. Publication must bear the writer"s full name, address and phone number.
C. Writers should be responsible for their names.
D. Names are required to indicate writers" responsibility for what they say.
B. not get a reply
C. be accepted all the same
D. become a family problem
B. unwilling to draw public attention
C. afraid of an accusation
D. ready for involvement
B. identity and signature
C. signature and responsibility
D. anonymity and signature

| When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not? Why Difficult? When we wrong someone we know, even not intentionally, we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when we"re acting as leaders, the circumstances are different. The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can be stupid. So, readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony-while an apology that is too little, too late, or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin. What, then, is to be done? How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly? Why Now? The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent. During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology culture-apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies. More articles, cartoons, advice columns, and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies. Why Bother? Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public statements of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, then, leaders should not apologize often or lightly. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a good, strong reason. Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so. Why Refuse? Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize, even when a public apology seems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public figures, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid that admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible. There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations, as we shall see, but it is a high-risk strategy. | |||
