I think that this picture is a perfect example of how people and mostly women see chivalry in today world. Women want ment to treat them like a lady and to be chivarvis but then they get mad when men say things like let me help you with that its too heavy for you. Everything can be seen both ways, but I think more chivalry would be shown in the world today if men weren't getting yelled at for being sexist. Like this link to an article about men holding doors for wowmen being sexis and bad.

In todays world, I think a good example of chiverly would be Zac Effron's character in the movie "17 Again". He shows that you have to treat a woment like a lady no matter what and that even high school students should show it becasue its just the right thing to do. He shows that it works out in their favor and that all young men should be brought up like that.
