A Nyungar man or maaman (father) may have many children, but through the birthmother Nyungars will always know their true heritage and identity. Nyungar families tend to be large, and have a hierarchy within the family.

Marmeladov commits terrible deeds in order to fulfill his selfish desires which he, himself, does not understand. First he steals the money that he has brought home for Katerina, then he borrows money from his daughter, who has prostituted herself for it. Marmeladov is desperate; however, he cannot help his drinking problem and continues to spend every kopeck on alcohol. He recognizes that he is "a swine" (15) and a "born brute" (15) and weeps in despair over his crying children and his furious wife. He truly wants to be a better father but cannot get beyond this depression.

In one particular instance, before the double-murder, Raskolnikov is brought back to the poverty he suffered throughout his childhood.

The Yunnan and Szechuan provinces of southwest china have been home to the people of the Mosuo culture for nearly 2000 years. With a population of approximately 56, 000, the Mosuo tribe is dwarfed when compared to china’s population of 3.1 billion. The majority of the families live around Lugu Lake, a region that was isolated from the world until the 1970s.The Mosuo tribe is often described as one of the last living matriarchal societies today. “Given that Mosuo women make most of the major decisions, control the household finances, and pass on the family name to their children, many anthropologists classify the Mosuo culture as a "matriarchal society." but those who have studied these ancient societies are often at odds as to what to label them.
