How it affects people:

-It makes people feel more comfortable. As if they are not alone, and that there is always someone that could help them in their time of need.

How it connects to other terms:

-Loyalty is connected to Self-worth, in the way that if many people are loyal to you, it makes you feel as if you have a better self-worth. If you had no self-worth, others would feel that they should be loyal to someone who feels better about themselves.

-Loyalty is connected to Ambition, in the way that, when you are trying to fulfill a dream with the ambition that you have, it makes it easier to fulfill that dream when you know that you're not alone and you have others who are loyal to you.

-Loyalty is also connected to Humanity. The human race would be much colder and crueler without loyalty. Survival would basically be "one man for themselves".
