Is Chivalry Alive Today

Is Chivalry Alive Today? Anonymous once said, “Chivalry is not dead, it just isn’t required anymore.” Many people argue that chivalry is in fact still alive, but it just isn’t taught in the world today. As the world keeps growing, the news generation of kids are not learning and are losing the idea of being chivalrous. Many of today’s teens grow up not knowing what having chivalry means. Although, many young teenagers are disrespectful, we can’t judge all teens in the world of doing this. I agree that many teens have honor, respect, and courtesy; however, a majority of teens are irresponsible, uncivil, and lazy. First, teens in today’s world are very irresponsible. For example, high school students are often asked to turn homework in on a specific today. They wait until the very last minute to turn it in. The teacher will give them an extra day even though they don’t have too. The next day will come, but yet they still make excuses to why they haven’t done it yet. I am not saying I have not forgotten to do an assignment, but most of the time, it is the same people asking for a second chance over and over. …show more content…

I have personally experienced many teens using bad language, not using common courtesy, and talking during movies.These are a few prime examples of how teens are uncivil. Those examples are just common courtesy things to recognize to do. Many people wonder why teens do those things or act that way. Teens are so influenced by today’s technology and forget how to be someone outside of their cell phones. In my own personal experience, I have witnessed a teen with his parents at dinner, but he is on his phone the whole time. He only looked up to eat his food and to leave the

  • The Culture Of Teenagers In The 1950's

    With every new generation of teenagers or young adults, there always seems to be this negative look towards the youth culture. What really strikes me is that it happens with every new generation. It seems like once a person hits their teenage years they suddenly become “rebels” of society, and for what reason? How do most adults see the younger generation? They are young people who have bad manners, no respect for the elderly, they are real tyrants, they do not stand up when elders walk in, they do not listen to their parents or teachers, they talk in the presence of adults, and they eat gluttonously (Socrates).

    Today, there is a high percentage in trouble in teens. In our generation, most of the youth make decisions without thinking about the consequences of their actions. I believe that teenagers don’t think about consequences in high-pressure situations, don’t think with illegal actions, and don’t think when it comes to posting on the internet. When it comes to high-pressured situations, young adults tend to pay no attention to the outcome of their actions. When a stressful or emergency comes along, teens often forget about the important things, such as self-safety.
