Their loyalty tends to form around ongoing relationships with a small group of people within or apart from organizations. In the small group context, they often prove themselves to be exceedingly loyal. Loyalty to organizations occurs in short term commitments.

From the ravages of broken homes and the dark side of dual income couples, this generation has emerged looking for the intimacy and commitment that many of them did not know in their own families.

This generation has reaped the harvest of the moral relativism of the 1960's and 1970's.
