Ancient Greeks did not only bring the slavery and the conquerable from another side of channel, but also the concept of obligation, one of the most important personalities for gentlemen.

Beau Brummell definitely is an impportant icon to gentleman history in Regent England. The word ‘dandy’ was originally come from him. Now his statue is standing at the end of Piccadilly Arcade, still being as a gentleman.

THE MODERN BRITS Among several actors, who are the ideal modern gentleman icons in this generation? And what are the reasons? Let Firth and Hiddleston tell you the truth.



Once played Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice in 1995 for BBC miniseires, only with 6 episodes Firth had already set his unmovable gentleman status since then. Don’t need to be humble, as Mr. Darcy said: But pride, where there is a real superiority of mind. Pride will always be a under good regulation.

successful action movie: Kingsman, Firth grabbed people’s attention with a elegant secret agent. No more romance this time though, he still behave perfectly as a gentleman. Probably you saw him with umbrella, glassed and suits, walking on Savile Row to the secret tailor shop.

Gentleman:

the explanation

What is gentleman exactly? People wear bespoke suits from tailors on Savile Row? Open the door and pull out the chair for lafies? Or speak their languages with upper classes’s accents?

People might say gentleman needs to behave himself perfectly, showing his finest education thorugh his every single move. But depends on different situations and culture backgrounds, it

seems hard to react totally perfect every single time. Wearing suits is also not suitable for every occasion, it might look awkward if people wearing suits enjoy the sunshone on the seaside. Insist helping women probably will be felt irritaing by independant ladies or feminisms. Speaking properly in different occasions is also a neccessary skill. From my opinion, gentleman is alway behave with his wisdom, through the observation, thinking in a way which hurt others the

He respect others in his way, and being polite, trying not to hurt

others in any kind of purpose. He is someone who may brigh the joy. It is not difficult to find right now this society is lacking of gentlemen, It is not about the words you use in your sentences, it is not about the luxury clothes you wear, it is always to make others feel comfortable, respectful and been treated at the same height.
