TOPIC: ISSUE235 - "Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyalty-whether to one's friends, to one's school or place of employment, or to any institution-is all too often a destructive rather than a positive force."

Loyalty, long considered as virtue by most people, is regarded as a destructive force to one's friends, companies, and countries by the speaker. Simply put, loyalty is a positive or negative force is not convincing. From my perspective, whether loyalty contributes depends actually on its objects and extent.
If loyalty's objects and extent is under well controllment, it is no doubt that it benefits one's friends, companies and countries. Inter-trust is the base of human communication and connection. Loyalty, in my view, is a long-persistant trust, what is quite crutial in maintaining the close relationship between friends. For instance, it is quite natural for friends to borrow money from each other. Continous demand of retuning the lend money back will certainly weaken the friendship. This deed is actually an act of untrust and de-loyalty. Besides, loyalty usually triggers a high work effiency, as it might give people a master-feel sense. In Japanese companies, they usually requires a high loyalty, and in return, they do not fire any employers. This system, as the designers plan, give a master-sense to each employer. Whateven they do, they do not feel that they are paid and forced to do, but rather constructing their own "house". Therefore, the loyalty leads to a high working efficiency in this case. Last but not least, nation requires the highest loyalty. It is nothing but the loyalty that bring the citizens together as a whole, thought this might not be discovered in peaceful time. In wars, the officials tempted to trigger the highest loyalty of their citizens to their nations, as it is actually the final wall to protect the soverignment. Loyalty gives birth to belief, a belief to win the battle, and then the action. So, it is obvious that proper loyalty do good to one's friends, companies, and countries.
However, it is an art to choose the subjects of one's loyalty. If one chose the demon to pay one's loyalty, one will certainly become a demon himself. Besides, we should also notice that many objects of loyalty exist in one's mind at the sametime. So, the order of it is also important when the objects of loyalty conflicted with each other. Take a story in the World War II for example, a German Amry official planned to murder Hilter by setting a bomb in the meeting room. Unfortunately, the action was failed, and the official was killed by Hilter. But his name along with his brave deed was recorded and remembered by every people longing for peace. He is a German Amry official, so his behaviour actually detrayed his countries. However, he gave his loyalty to even more higher object: the humanity, the whole world. That is the order of loyalty counts. If the official persisted his loyalty to Hilter, he would certainly be another "humanity demon."
Besides, the extent of loyalty requires high attention as well. Even the object is correct, an over-extent will lead to serious problems. Overextent loyalty usually binds our eyes from discovering the shortings and problems from our friends, companies, and countries. Therefore, it will reduce the beneficial side of loyalty to these objects which mentioned in the second paraphagh.
In sum, well-controlled loyalty will give birth to a stable friendship, a high-efficient running company, and a more united country. However, a object-false or overextent loyalty is doomed to invite a serious of problems. Last but not least, when one faced with the situation that some loyalties are conflied with each other, it is crutial for him to carefully consider the order.
