Now as far as I can see, it depends on the kind of people you're generally around what your opinion is.
If I'm at explorers, I'd say not a chance. We're supposed to be equal there, but say there's something heavy to carry the guys won't be happy if I carry it, they'll do it for me and give me something lighter. Just little things like that, and its really nice.
But.. if I'm out walking in some of the "rougher" areas around where I live, you see old ladies having to step aside for youths and on the bus th teenagers will all take seats and leave the very old / very young standing.

What do you think? Are chivalry, respect and good manners dead?

Nope, most of my friends are polite, and all but a few of the guys I know can be fairly chivalrous so I wouldn't say chivalry is dead. I think it's the minority who weren't taught how to behave properly that aren't well mannered.

See I'd think that too, if it weren't for how surprised people are when they hear that one of teh older lads did the hard work I was told to do
i think corn1sh is probably righ, its stil there but getting less common, mainly because of the media.

Perhaps the opening the car door for you.. or pulling out your chair at the table for you.. may perhaps be gone.

But iv a few boy friends.. and they will let me go first through a door, carry heavy stuff, fixing stuff for me.. etc..

So all in all... i think its still alive.. even if only with a vague heartbeat

I think it depends on the circumstances. After all, women have fought to be considered equal. But common courtesy is common courtesy, no matter what!
When my oldest nephew was pre-teen, anytime anyone went somewhere with him he was usually the first one through the swinging door. No matter how many times his mamma would correct him, intially he would go first. Never stop and open the door for people behind him to go in first. Never hold the door open from the inside until the person caught the door in their hand at least. Dad got tired of correcting him, it was easier just to let it go. SIL was determined, and everytime it happened, she made him do it over again. Now, it doesn't happen so often, she tells me, and when it does, just a 'look' will nip it in the bud right away!

Joke:

What kind of pliers do you use in arithmatic?
MultiPLIERS!

i think it has gone out the window.
what happened to a man standing when a lady walks into the room?
ya guys will help out and carry something heavy but its just more so because its easier for them.
everybody has common courtesy just not quite chilvary

Chivalry was never really alive to begin with...

My perspective on this is a daily event.
My job means I walk the streets of this city carrying a couple of buckets and a pole, I clean shop windows. I see men notice me, and steer around, every time. Women, young and old, locals and tourists alike, will look at me, as they walk straight into me. If I don't get out of their way, I usually get unpleasant comments!
I get so sick of their attitude that I let it happen, and to annoy them I angle the bucket just so.

As I see it, common courtesy suggests you give way to an encumbered person, surely?

I dont think its dead at all. I still encounter it daily from all age groups.

I am not sure what chivalry means in the modern era!
I am always intending to be slightly defferential to the ladies! But I will open doors or hold them open for anyone.
I do not pull chairs out, or anything which I think are obsequeties, I may occasionally say MA'm but not to any particular age group of females!
