Boris Simchenko stays that according to the function of women in society Nganasan people divide them in three age groups. The youngest women, or kopto, not married and without children, help to look after the latter and dress meat. It is prohibited for them to make clothes to married men, children or even to their unmarried brothers. Their main function is to store wood for fire. Ny women, or those who are married and have children, work with meat of dead deer and the skin, store food, make clothes and the covering for summer lodging.  The ethnographer underlines the more respectful attitude to the eldest women, inie,  who are responsible for solving  conflicts and food distribution. They approve marriages, ensure celebration activities, sacred and social rules.

Classification Paragraph. Evseeva Evgenia


         Domestic violence exists in all social groups, regardless of income level, education, and social status. Nevertheless, some factors have more influence on the manifestation of domestic violence than others; therefore, they determine the intensity and frequency of abuse in a family. So the scale of domestic violence may be determined by social and psychological factors of both the victim and the offender, which are interconnected and have a related impact on the domestic violence perpetration. Social factors incorporate
socio-demographic aspects, such as age and sex of the victim, level of education of the offender, his national and ethnic origin, family situation(married/unmarried, childless couple /couple with children); professional status and class position of both subject and object of violence. Psychological factors may also appear as the risk factors and traditionally include alcohol /drug addiction of the offender, victim’s attitude to the problem of domestic violence(connected with her education and relationships in her family in the childhood), and mental condition of the offender. It is especially important to understand a variety of factors and their relationship, which affect the scope of this phenomenon. The mentioned factors must be analyzed in order to eliminate the problem or significantly decrease its scale.

How To Use i.e. And e.g.

Here is a guide on using i.e. And e.g. In everyday sentences correctly. 

Step 1: E.g.

E.g. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, and is used instead of the phrase 'for example'. It is used to clarify a preceding statement. I love playing sports, e.g., football, cricket, tennis and rugby To make sure that you use e.g. correctly, especially if you don't speak Latin, it may help to remember that it is also the initials for 'example given'.

Step 2: I.e.

I.e. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase id est, and is used to clarify a preceding statement by restating the idea more clearly or expanding upon it. I can't decide which colour crayon to use, i.e., there are so many wonderful colours to choose from. Again, for the non-Latin speakers out there, to make sure you use i.e. correctly you may want to remember that it also stands for 'in effect.'

Step 3: Grammatical issues

For both e.g. and i.e. there are a few grammatical issues you should remember in order to use them properly. Make sure you use a full stop after each letter, they are abbreviations after all. Either one can be used to start a sentence. Use a capital letter for the first letter and remember to follow it with a comma. They can also both be used in a parenthetical statement; again remember to follow with a comma Finally if you're using either one within a sentence, and not in parentheses or at the beginning, make sure you precede and follow it with a comma.
