Loyalty, as a virtue in our society, is a gauge and a base for each social member and never fades or be forgotten during the development of human society. Whether to individuals or to community, loyalty is indispensable when people get along with others.

With the time being changed, some aspects of people's habits is being changed. Some new life styles enter our daily life, such as abreaction after tense work ,pursuit for more profits, and more independent individual character. The new styles company with the promptly development of our society. However, some old virtue, like loyalty, will never be changed or lost. Only loyalty can bring us steady and attractive relationship between individuals.

The virtue loyalty make relationship between individuals firmly .We will never forget the story about little Lincoln ,who is the most famous and great president in the American history, that he walked about 3 miles back to a store just for returning the surplus 1 penny the boss gave change  to him. Another example is the loyalty between a couple Loyalty is the base of marriage, and without loyalty, people divorce and marriage become a crime. The loyalty deed make us believe each other and give us more confidence about our future.

Loyalty between individuals and companies is also important for the health of our society. Many companies such as Ford and Intel consider loyalty the most precious virtue which the members must possess. If a company can be considered as a body, then each member can be seen as a cell. Each cell has its function and should be loyal to the body, if any cell betrayed ,then the cell become cancer, and the body will die. And the company is destructive when its members are not loyal.

When we talk about  loyalty to a nation, it is more important for a race and an a country. Usually the national flag and the national song integrate all the citizens as a whole. When the flag arises and the song begin, we feel loyalty and holiness in our heart and remember the faith that we should fight for our county and people. Every county consider the treason as the most serious commits and the traitors will never escape from the condemnation and blame even they have been dead for centuries .While we hate the traitors, the people who sacrifice (immolate) his individual profits even his life in order to be loyal to his nation become a hero of a nation and a symbol of loyalty.

However ,loyalty is not blind ,and we should be never be loyal to the person who never put loyalty in his mind especially some criminals and agitators .Take Hitler for example. He deceived many neighbor countries that he cherished the relationships between Germany and other countries. However, when people waken from the dream that he provide to us , the army of Nazi German has invaded into the whole Europe. It is hazard to be blind to such liar and we must always warn ourselves against such buffoons.

Overall, loyalty is our treasure as well as precious ,and the great virtue will be perpetual across  entire history of  human.
