![]() ![]() Being chivalrous isn't necessarily the most popular word around today. Chivalry is seen today in the world when men show gestures of kindness to women. So ladies, suck it up and hold the door for yourself, or open the car door, or pay for your own dinner, at least you're not having to defend yourself from some crazy terrorist attack the minute you step foot outside. It isn't all about holding open doors and waiting on you hand and foot, if they were to read the Code of Chivalry they would understand why no one ever attained the Holy Grail, the code wanted you to be PERFECT, so perfect that no one could. And people that say chivalry is dead don't know much about it. A former teacher of mine once said "if you think living in the US isn't all its cracked up to be, name one place where you have everything we have and MORE." Imagine having to protect yourself from anything and everything instead of just having to swat the occasional fly or bug. Had they not stepped up and taken the honor in protecting our country, we would not have the rights and freedoms we often take for granted. The soldiers in Iraq, and many other places around the world are the reason we have our freedom. Maybe we don't have Arthur's knights following us around protecting us from danger at all times, or Lancelot trying to court us, but we do have people that defend us. ![]() Now, argue away!Ĭhivalry is indeed alive and well.

When thinking about loyalty for the United States political structure (including those in positions of authority), people protecting those weaker than themselves, and religious reverance (of any sort) do you believe that chivalry is still alive? Others counter that chivlary is still alive and well in modern day-to-day life. In today's society many argue that the aspects of the code of chivalry have taken a backseat to a person's selfish desires and actions. The code of chivalry included a knight's loyalty to his lord, the obligation to defend those weaker than himself (especially, but not limited to, women), and offering their service to the greater glory of God.
