To be honest, the answer for me to this question turned out to be way too tougher than i thought it would: Meaning that in the modern society the term 'Chivalry' is in a lot of ways completely different from the ones we have heard in the FairyTales. For instance, i just cannot imagine the Knight in the shining Armor riding to someone's rescue with his white horse, rather than spoiled brats with their pimped up cars riding and yelling "bye bye"...
There sure are exceptions though, but are those exceptions making any difference? I mean, if one particular person lends you an hand to help you with something, does it make him chivalrous?
...Chivalry in the Modern Society!
You know, when i started to question about 'Chivalry' i did a lot of research and readings - i even asked my three sisters about it; but sadly or not, there was never an straight answer to this question... So eventually i had to come to the conclusion regarding of what I've learned about chivalry by judging other people opinions.
What i now know for sure is that chivalry is not really dead, rather than it has become unusual phenomenon amongst people. Don't get me wrong; It doesn't mean that chivalry is rare or even that it isn't there at all: in-fact, it's completely opposite - it's just changed, or should i say: "adopted within modern society!" Though i came to this conclusion because of Dave Chapelle's one hilarious Stand-Up Comdey Shows, where he mentions that "chivalry is dead and women killed it!" I know that it sounds kinda odd or even strange to judge his opinion and turn it into something more positive than it really is, but he has a point; and that point made me realize that chivalry isn't dead!
So how does this add up, that chivalry isn't dead? Well, it's simple really!
You know, when someone talks about chivalry, and is telling the same thing as Dave did (that it's dead) - then don't get me wrong; "they are right", but at the same time they aren't. Meaning that in most cases when the term chivalry is mentioned, it's mentioned as if in the modern society - and that's what makes it all complicated, that's why it is said, that 'chivalry is dead' while it really isn't.
In other words: "Forget the FairyTale's; the knights with the shining armors; and men on white horses!" Just live the day and you'll realize soon enough, that chivalry is out there - but it's different; and sometimes, completely opposite...
