 The word “apartment<span>" comes from the French word </span>appartement<span> and the Italian word </span>appartimento<span>, both of which mean “a </span>separated<span> place."</span>

They are called apartments, because even though the rooms are relatively close to each other, they are all split (apart)  from each other, and different families occupy different ones (one does not have access to all the rooms unless you own the apartment or work there)

hope this helps

How can something like McCarthyism be used as a partisan weapon against another political party? Give an example.
yKpoI14uk [10]

McCarthyism is nothing more than a witch hunt.  A lot of finger pointing and not a lot of proof.  Both parties (Democrat & Republican) in the United States use this in todays world.  Ill give examples of both and follow up with how it can be beneficial to each party.

Democrats:  Accuse other politicians of being "racist" or "bigoted" just from political ideas and from certain members of the base.  While it is not fact or true that Republicans are by policy racist, it is a word that is hated by people and has a negative connotation to it, forcing some to keep distance from said person

Republicans:  Accuse other politicians of being "muslin lovers" or "muslins" themselves.  We saw this for the entire Obama presidency.  Congress and some Republican supporters would use the word "muslin" to describe the president in order to give a negative connotation towards Obama.  This has some strong effectiveness due to the recent events (September 11th, 2001).

Both parties are trying to stick a negative idea/precedent/description about the opposition in order to sway votes.  This tactic is very effective because  not only will you sway votes, theres little repercussion in doing so because the people who disagree with you are not going to be swayed, but that voter in the middle who cares about one issue over the other (in this case racism over fear of muslims or vice versa fear of muslims over racism).  

Either someone is intelligent enough to know the rhetoric between the two parties and votes by policy (unaffected / no positive or negative response), they don't care about either issue (unaffected / no positive or negative response), or someone is strongly in favor of one or the other (strong positive or negative response).

While there are some attempts that have been made and can be made that would be so egregious that most people have a negative response, but that rarely happens and would be deemed political suicide.  

Hope this helps.

Piggy represents the voice of reason and logic, but is ignored explain why (3 sentence)
ryzh [129]
In the Lord of the Flies, the boys find themselves stranded on a deserted island with no adults to supervise them.

At first, the boys begin by forming rules and a structured way of life. In doing so, they attempt to be orderly. It isn't long, however, before these rules quickly begin to be disregarded. 

As they begin to disregard the rules, they begin to give into their savage sides. They stop wearing clothes, they cannot keep the signal fire going, and they only want to hunt and chant. They begin to be afraid of a "thing" lurking in the woods (which, of course, is not a monster at all) and even begin worshipping a dead animal. As their savagery grows, the boys do not want to hear anything reasonable and logical.

Piggy tries to be the voice of reason and logic, but the boys (with the exception of a few) don't want to hear it. On a literal level, Piggy's physical appearance (his weight, his asthma, his glasses) make him an outcast. He is forever calling the boys "children," even though he is the same age as them. This is one reason that the boys ignore Piggy.

However, Piggy is ignored for symbolic reasons as well. The boys have given into their dark sides and as a result Piggy is ignored. Their lives are given over to hunting, chanting, and savage dancing. When Piggy is finally killed at the end of the novel, it symbolizes the death of reason in the boys. All civilization in them has been destroyed by their time on the island and the fear it has created within them.
