I don't believe chivalry is dead, but it seems to be dying, it is sometimes also simply hidden. The rise of political correctness and the influence of civil libertarians has had I believe a negative effect on new generations that lack the respect, courage and courtesy or inclination to defend the weak.
Chivalry is on its way out... May be a soul here or there who holds on to such 'old time' values. Now look everywhere it is like every man for himself. This is not only with regard to chivalry but in all things that concern values.
The changing times...
Don't lose hope yet if you can make it live as long as want to.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
