"Showing respect to every- one around you." -Ashton Smith "Being chivalrous and al- ways being kind, like step- ping aside for people in the hallway or opening a door for someone." -Jake Paul "Being nice to others and being respectful to other people." -Neil Leslie "Being kind to everyone and showing respect to women and men alike; just being a kind individual in general." -Tanner Tweedt "Still representing chiv- alry even though most say that it's dead." -Trenton Houghtby "Being yourself, being polite and staying true to self. I think it means a lot about how you carry your- self and your character. -Tye Clement "Doing everything that gentlemen used to do in the 1950's, We need more of that and it's dying." -Victor Hernandez
