"Altruism, Intergroup Apology, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation" focuses on these cases that show a positive outcome providing empirical evidence that there is a positive relationship between altruism, apology, forgiveness, and reconciliation - and that there is hope that mankind can emerge from its violent past and embrace a wiser world.
