Men do things for women such as opening door, giving seat, carrying luggage just like a normal thing. Showing respect to female is a moral conformity for gentlemen. English men’ bearing is not only appears in dressing and action but also in language. In England, “Thank You! Excuse me! Sorry! You are wele!” are the most frequently used words. How’s the English gentleman ethos formed? Firstly, England has a longer history than other countries in European, the rule of feudalism make the English more tolerance.
