The story is no different when it comes to human beings themselves. We all have names in order to identify ourselves, whether to friends, co-workers, or verifiable government documents.

The American workplace is stressful and full of high pressure situations, which brings about this greater stress. Given the problems of workplace stress, lower productivity and the need to facilitate more beneficial sleep, invoking a mandatory Spanish-style siesta Continue reading...

The role of historical Christianity in the first seven centuries is to absorb elements of ancient civilization and channel them to the middle Ages (Stark, 2006).
