Chivalry is defined as: 'A gallant or distinguished gentleman'. 'Marked by honor, generosity, and courtesy.' 'Protection of the weak.' and 'Gracious courtesy and high-minded consideration, especially towards women.' This term was used in medieval times to describe brave knights who would go do battle, yet treated women with dignity and respect upon their return.

This concept is disappearing fast. Just listen to the lyrics of some of today's music. Lyrics that have gone from calling women "baby" to calling them "bitch." Look at the rise in domestic violence cases against both men and women. It would help if girls were taught the same principles and standards of decency. Things that would include how to dress and act in public, and the proper way to treat others.

I'm not a chauvinist nor do I want to roll back time to the middle ages. My point is simply to teach kids, while they are in school, how to respect others. How to interact in a respectful manner and how to treat the opposite sex with some dignity. Be polite. Think before you open your mouth. In short, when you treat someone in a certain way, would that same treatment of you be acceptable?
