 Saying sorry, genuinely meaning it, and not feeling like you are better than the other person because you said sorry- that makes you a little better. Saying it only to feel superior doesn't make it so.

 If you truly mean it and learn enough from it to never do it again - then yes, it makes you a better person.
THOUGH, over all THINKING before you do or say something is even better.

How a SINCERE apology works is that you recognize you said/did something wrong.
YOu want to right that wrong because you feel REMORSE for commiting that offence or wrong.
You HUMBLE yourself and offer your apology. On the degree of offence- you offer RESTITUTION on how to make up for what was done.
Example, if you tossed a rock though someone's window, you offer to make things right, by paying for the repair.
THEN- you ensure you do not keep going around tossing rocks into people's window.
You have learnt from your mistake and have the desire to change and NOT make the same mistake and keep from making the same mistake.
That is what makes One a Genuine, Honest, 'Good' Person.

 Hi
Sorry is only good if you mean it,if it shows genuine remorse. Depends what you said and if the person is willing to accept the apology.Its better than not saying sorry though.
