Some studies show that spirituality and productivity are closely related to the workplace. Three main components in the spirituality of work are the meaning of work, the relationship with fellow-worker and the cultural values of the organization. This phenomenological study focuses on the meaning of work among millennials. As an exploratory study, using phenomenological analysis, it found that millennials give meaning to work based on three important factors, namely, its individual meaningfulness, the fairness of treatment, and the balance between reward and level of work-demand. Millennial does not make income and personal development as their primary considerations but rather a more spiritual side of work visà-vis meaning and support one finds in the office. This exploratory study suggests some important ramifications for dealing with millennials in the work place.

It is often said about the nurses that they are strong enough to tolerate everything and soft enough to understand everyone. It would not be an overstatement to say that, in the hierarchy of the healthcare system, they are the most taken for granted population and thus one of the most vulnerable. In most countries, the nursing staffs have inflexible working hours; have maximum periods of interaction with the consumers of healthcare and are given a status of secondary citizens in comparison with their doctor counterparts. The power to exercise freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without apprehensions of violence or intimidation is regarded as a basic human right, by United Nations’ universal declaration on human rights [1]. Workplace violence can be regarded as any act of aggression manifesting into a physical or emotional assault, towards a person on duty [2]. A work place can be regarded as any setting where a person renders his professional duties, which in the cases of nurses is mostly the hospital settings. It is inclusive of the entire work environment, such as the parking spaces or premises or even a temporary place of deputation for work purposes. The perpetrator may be any person who is the recipient of medical help or a senior or junior fellow worker, a member of the organization of work or even a random individual with no legitimate workplace relationship to the victim but merely a visitor in the hospital

George Sarton, often regarded as the founder of the discipline of the history of science, appears to have first seen Notes and Records of the Royal Society in 1942. His letter of acknowledgement to A. V. Hill conveys both his pleasure at the publication (which the Royal Society had launched in 1938) and his frustration in trying to persuade scientists and ‘humanists’ of the value of his work. The letter also records Sarton's sadness at the death of his Harvard colleague L. J. Henderson, a fellow-worker in his campaign to ‘humanize science’.

When, after the abrupt changes in religion in the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary, Elizabethan protestants set about consolidating the protestant reformation they looked upon towns as one of the chief agencies for the conversion of the countryside. From the first moment of his appointment as lord president of the council in the north in 1572 that enthusiastic layman, the third earl of Huntingdon, made this assumption a guiding principle of his governorship. ‘I do all I can to get good preachers planted in the market towns of this country’, he told William Chaderton, bishop of Chester in 1584, adding with a characteristic note of realism, ‘in which somewhat is already done, but much remaineth to be done.’ Huntingdon’s close associate and fellow worker in the north, archbishop Grindal, had earlier informed the queen in similar terms that ‘the continual preaching of God’s word in Halifax’ in the 1560s had been responsible for the town’s stalwart loyalty to the crown during the Rebellion of the Earls. Yet both Grindal and Huntingdon knew very well from personal experience that towns in general and northern towns in particular had not by any means all accorded an automatic or unqualified welcome to protestantism. A comparison between York and Hull demonstrates forcefully how two towns in close geographical proximity could differ very considerably in their initial acceptance of protestantism and in the readiness of their ruling élites to further the propagation of protestant doctrines among the townspeople at large.

Terence malick's remarkable film of 1974, Badlands, contains a sequence which vividly epitomizes the experience of American violence and deftly connects it to the impulse deep within even the most inarticulate of victims and violators to turn pain into art. Like its cinematically inferior predecessor Bonnie and Clyde, Badlands is based upon actual history—the Charles Starkweather case of 1958 in which a pair of Nebraska teenagers went on a murderous rampage, killing eleven persons including the girl's parents and baby sister. In the film, Kit and Holly flee to the prairie shack of Cato, Kit's fellow worker on the town garbage truck. Cato tries to sneak away and sound the alarm. Kit shoots his friend in the back. Cato staggers indoors, bleeding but silent, and collapses on the bed. As Kit and Holly circle aimlessly around the room, the dying man does something oddly significant—he picks up a mirror and carefully examines his face in its surface. Kit says nothing and Holly offers neither apology nor help. Instead she innocently inquires about Cato's pet spider. What does it eat? Does it ever bite? “It never bit me,” he gasps laconically. After he dies Kit drags the body into the shed, then stalks up and down outside gesturing vehemently to the corpse. Like other victims in this brilliant, disturbing film, Cato has been caught in the spiraling coils of Kit's almost voiceless and casual violence.
