Teach Kids About Chivalry
Where and why was the concept of chivalry created? Is it still important today?
As with all Hess UnAcademy unit studies the medieval times unit study includes a section that focuses on a related success principle. We explore the concept of chivalry and what it means to be a “good person”. The chivalric code includes the concepts of loyalty, patience, strength, generosity, and honor. One of the strongest principles of chivalry is that of the strong protecting and caring for the weak.
This unit includes practical, everyday things you can do to practice chivalry and respect for others. We talk about the practicality of these old-fashioned ideas for the modern world today, and how to make those around us feel valued. Technology may be moving at the speed of light, but some ideals never change.
We also discuss the differences between men and women (men are conquerors and women supporters), and how to practice chivalry in relationships.
The motivation behind chivalrous behavior is as important as the practice of chivalry, we talk about how to set your expectations and walk out the code of chivalry.
