The word desert is often used metaphorically to describe a deprived environment, as a desert is deprived of water. Thus from Gao Village: A Portrait of Rural Life in Modern China by M C F Gao:

High desertion rates in any company, battalion, or division indicated failures of command and logistics, for which blame pointed to leaders as much as to the men who deserted. Some soldiers deserted when all the other members of their units had been killed and their own deaths appeared inevitable.

What role could juliet's deteriorating relationship with her parents have played in her death?
viva [34]
1. It made Juliet more disconnected from them. She felt as if her actions should have no ties would them and therefore felt as if she could do anything.

2. She became more rebellious. Her deteriorating relationship with her parents made her careless in how much her parents would cry and stress out if she was ever to disobey them or die. 

3. It made her easier to kill herself. When she saw Romeo dead, she truly believed that he was the only one that cared enough about her. She did not give a second thought to all the loved ones she was leaving behind because she probably unconsciously thought they didn't care at all.

Why do civilizations borrow elements from earlier civilizations?
marissa [1.9K]
I would say that depends whether the earlier civilizations were present immediately before the borrowing civilization, so the two could have contact, or were separated by a long period of time.

If a civilization borrows from a civilization just was there shortly before, and that they possibly invaded, the borrowing might happen not on purpose, but be a result of a natural mix and inclusion of what it already there. Alternatively, especially when a new power wants to assimilate local population, they might want to include elements from their previous culture to ease the transition for them and make it more acceptable (e.g. the Virgen og Guadalupe in Mexico, although a Cristian Deity, borrows greatly from pre-colombian civilizations.)

If a civilization borrows from an older one, it might be to evoke an association with them, as when Europe borrowed from the Greeks and the Romans, when they wanted to break with the association of the Dark Ages in the Renaissance and instead "go back to their intellectual roots"
