Without loyalty, the world wouldn’t be the same, people would backstab one another and people wouldn’t trust each other, as a result of the lack of loyalty between the people. From reading Antigone, I realized that loyalty was a very essential argument that came in many various forms; such as expressing loyalty to the family and to respect and honor the state or country.

One thing that should be true in all families, is that the parents are good role models for their children, leading them in the right direction in life.
