Today higher educational establishment should create conditions to train and educate a competitive professional and spiritual and cultural student’s personality. The fact that a certain part of students uses the Internet allows us to assume that, for example, such social network as «VKontakte» can hypothetically be considered to be a virtual part of educational space, which in its turn is a part of the educational system of the institution. The author tries to make an attempt to reveal the educational potential of the Internet network as a virtual part of educational space of higher technical educational establishment and to characterize Internet-portrait of the modern student in the social network «VKontakte». The success of the practical application of educational means through social networks on the Internet depends on the deep and qualitative students’ monitoring, their inner world, the range of interests, the ideological position and so on. In the background of the students’ postmodern layer there is a motivated part of students. For them education is a real value and they normally have a desire to be a spiritual and cultural personality and to look for their own way of self-development and self-realization. The Internet is used by people of different categories and preferences. In terms of cyber socialization a person, who is a user of this or that social network, gets a unique opportunity not just to claim his/her social status «to everybody», to show not only his/her individuality and uniqueness, but also his/her non-conformism or, the other way round, to become more conformal organizing and carrying out a part of his/her own life in a cyberspace. The Internet-portrait of a modern student depicts a person with quite a strong life’s philosophy who values family as the most important thing in life and who values kindness and honesty in people, but all the same it is still a conformist personality inspired in life by social networks which proves some definite closeness and moderation. And a secular-humanistic worldview serves as a background in which self-development and self-realization are lost among the Internet entertainments. Getting into the network, a person moves through at least five stages of communication with the virtual world. Most psychologists agreed that it is not the Internet which makes a person dependent, but a person inclined to addiction chooses its object which can be the Internet. Our task is to use the informational power of the Internet, the spiritual and cultural richness of this information and to use educational means correctly in terms of methodology. The results of the task implementation have confirmed that the Internet networks can be considered a virtual part of educational space of higher technical educational establishment.

This paper outlines potential interactions of God with humanity from the dawn of time through to attaining spiritual well-being. It briefly mentions alternative theories of origin, which connect to questions of ultimate reality, origin of human beings and our spiritual well-being. The nature of spirit and its relationship with soul and mind is then canvassed, followed by an account of historical developments in “spirituality”. The author’s Four Domains Model posits that Spiritual Health/Well-Being is reflected in the quality of relationships that each person has in up to four areas, namely with themselves, with others, with nature and/or with a Transcendent Other (commonly referred to as God). A critique of available measures of spirituality and spiritual well-being reveals a decline in the number of instruments assessing human relationships with God from earlier to more recent times. In contrast to this current trend of researchers selecting more humanistic emphases in spirituality/well-being in their research instruments, evidence is provided from recent findings that show that relating with God is the most important of the four sets of relationships for spiritual well-being. Further evidence is provided that God is the most influential Transcendent to enhance people’s relationships with themselves and others. Although researchers are free to choose the nature of questions raised in their projects, findings presented here clearly show that any research that cuts God out of the equation is excising the foundation of spirituality/well-being.

Sometimes silence is mistakenly regarded as something that reflects a peaceful organizational environment where everyone is happy and satisfied. According to related research though, employees in certain organizations might refrain from open communication and sharing of knowledge for the simple purpose of being misregarded as a “problem maker” or of just being ignored by their managers. Silence by the employees represents a largest hurdle for organizational learning, innovation, and change that has a vital role in an organization’s sustainable performance. In this paper, we are trying to investigate the concept of organizational silence as it relates to leadership, by trying to understand it specifically from the perspective of servant leadership. As to our knowledge, no single study or a theoretical paper has tried to elaborate these two concepts at the same time.
