Real gentlemen are a thing of the past

Nowadays during reading books about the past we can notice that norms of behavior had changed. From my point of view spiritual values had changed too.

More than 100 years ago honor was the most important thing for men (and for women too). Boys were brought up knowing that it was necessary to know and keep the rules of decency. Gentlemen had to follow unwritten rules to keep their honor and the honor of their families. Men were ready to do everything that would help the ladies, their friends and maybe sometimes even unknown person.

Now most of these values had changed. The world “honor” had lost its meaning. Many people use it without putting any sense in it. Nowadays most men live just they want. They are coming in their own way, regardless of the opinion of others. Such people rarely care about surroundings and their opinions. I do not want to say every one doing like this! Of course, there are men which take care of others and follow the rules of decency. Society calls them “polite” just because the world “gentlemen” is out of date. But unfortunately, men like that are becoming less and less.

That is the reason I think that real gentlemen are becoming a thing of the past.
