Seeking forgivness

Q: How does one rectify one's shortcomings in Huququl Ibaad particularly when the concerned person has died. For example one had been disobedient or has hurt the feelings of his parents and the parents have died?

Clapping hands

Q: Nowadays Muslims and non Muslims clap their hands. It has become a norm in society, if we are listening to a speech of a non Muslim or a Muslim in a public hall where non Muslims are also present and they all clap hands after a good speech. Will it be permissible to join them clapping hands, because if we don't clap the hands they assume that we didn't like the speech and then looked down upon?
