What is loyalty? It's the quality or state of being unswerving in allegiance, regardless of being faithful to a private person, one's sovereign or government, even ideal, custom or institution. Is it all too often a destructive rather than a positive force as the statement goes? In response to the issue, we should analyze the nature of it comprehensively from the dialectic prospective and make it clear that under the skin-deep fierce debate on the influence of loyalty, issues of controversy and consistency are at stake. I do admit that we should conduct the judgment via case by case analysis.

As we were taught since our childhood, loyalty is a virtue. Loyalty and only loyalty can bring about prosperity in any fields. With loyalty, Jack Welch makes GE the top one among those palmary list companies. Just as he said: the supreme contribution of my whole life is to allow every employee reach the value of loyalty veritably and let them hug and realize their own dreams. Without loyalty, U.S. Marine Corps cannot reach so high battle effectiveness. Like someone ever puts it: loyalty forever is a style of life rather than a phony motto to USMC. What's more, I approve the proposition that unification of races and states is derived from loyalty. It is nothing else but loyalty that makes America a united state rather than a myriad of respective states. From the analysis above, we can conclude that consistency due to loyalty does play a direct and causative role in shaping our society nowadays to some extent.

Here let's bring our discussion to a more present and practical context. Despite the distinct effect in figuring the macrocosm, loyalty also impact every microcosmic aspect of our daily lives, involving both the arena of matter and the arena of spirit. In the realm of matter, no other than loyalty conduces to the brands loyalty and this kind of loyalty mold many well-known brands which make our life advancing in quality in return. In the realm of spirit, only by being loyal to his ideal and custom from his father could Gutierrez finally be the paradigm of American success and occupy the Business Minister of USA. By the same token, loyalty does conduce to realizing the identity for a human being by unifying our material life with spiritual well-being.

Howbeit, overextended loyalty would be harmful when leaving the merits mentioned above along. The history compels us to acknowledge that the harm it engenders is palpable and profound. As Montaigne puts it: the most universal quality is diversity. For instance, it is chauvinism, taking advantage of the public's loyalty to their own country, that make it possible that countless young people died in the World War two for some single person's benefits even the war itself is inhuman. Furthermore, loyalty sometimes would make for standing still in the way of marching.
That is to say, contrarily, rebelling against obsolete idea can also amount to innovation. As a famous economist has put it:" This freedom from the group has enabled the American to become 'Economic Man'--one directed almost purely by profit motive, mobile and unencumbered by family or community obligations."

To successfully illuminate the nature of this issue, we should take the potential complexity of it into consideration. In the mod extent, that is in most cases, we should admit the merits of loyalty and cultivate and enhance people's awareness of loyalty. While when it comes to be excessive, we should take several valid steps to curb such blights resulting from loyalty. At the person's level, we should foster our independence inwardly and externally and at the community level, we should establish an almost perfect system keep us from being taken advantage of by a single person or a minority of people. Consequently, it's the belief in the virtue and humanity gives us optimism about loyalty.

To sum up, I do reiterate the point that, we need to call for a balance between controversy and consistency. With proper loyalty, unification and prosperity can be brought about; without overextended loyalty, we can make innovations and our world diversiform. In a word, we should be loyalty to others with reservation based on our own rational judgment.
