It is not that it is dead as so much as it is not being taught by parents as each generation picks what is important from the previous generation ideals. Unfortunately, it is on a decline but each of us can enforce it when we see an opp. and show the young what how necessary politeness is.
Why should parents teach chivalry over basic, gender-neutral common courtesy?

I would say no, its not dead. Just certain males decide to continue with chivalry while douchebags are well... douchebags. Ive been with my girlfriend for over a year. I hold the door for just about everything, i never hit her(unless were playing around then she gets hurt, then i feel bad), im always kind and courteous.
But aside from that you need to be kind to everyone, show respect for others and yourself.
You'll call people like myself a douchebag and yet you're the sexist.
