What is the Purpose of Chivalry today?
In the words of Michael Moore, Ph.D.: Chivalry sets a standard of conduct that transcends era or culture. It maintains a code of conduct that traditionally [upholds] a practical guide to living in a changing world, and it provides discipline within an undisciplined environment. Chivalry embraces a spiritual path of personal development that combines bravery and gentleness with a fierce compassion for the welfare of others. [The knight’s] interest and goal in life [is] to protect those who cannot defend, be it physical, spiritual, or economical [and] to fulfill [a] desire for personal excellence.
