Ladies and Gentlemen

After watching the PowerPoint on the "expected behavior of a gentlemen", I realized that the expected actions simply aren't all that common. I think that our world today has evolved to a point where perhaps life isn't as formal as the rules say it should be. However, while extensive formality isn't particularly necessary, respect is an absolute must. This doest only apply towards men being required to respect women either, respect must go both ways. For example, if there are other people entering behind you, the polite thing to do would be to hold the door open for everybody, regardless of your gender. Respect the people around you, whether they be friends, relatives, significant others, or enemies. Also, even though it isn't always necessary to be formal and display all the mentioned characteristics of a gentleman, it is still a very pleasant experience for the person to whom you are displaying them to. So guys, don't feel like you ALWAYS have to be gentlemen, but remember, it really is quite nice when you are. The same goes for you girls, be ladies, don't embarass yourself.
