WHAT ARE THE LIMITS OF POPULATION GROWTH?
Limits of population growth are the factors are the factors that hinder the increase in population of a certain area at a specific period of time. The limits may be positive or negative based on the circumstances.
Diseases and poor health is the major cause of reduction in the increase of population, it is based on the hygiene and body contacts, diseases such as the sexual transmitted diseases have taken a major influence on that fact, some of th3e diseases are curable while others do not even have vaccines. AIDs being one of the diseases have touched every corner of the world taking and struggling to reduce the increase of population in the whole world, leaving each one of us either affected or infected.
Secondly, family planning drugs have also been put across so as to reduce the number of children in a family, this being taken as a positive measure, it has greatly contributed to the hindrance in the growth of population.
Political instability has also erupted as another hindrance. Due to an instability in a nation most people and also many of them goes under unknown murderous where there is no one tackle the offences, some nations like Rwanda have been known to under go such situation leaving the country with few people and hence the least population.
In accordance to that, various calamities such as food shortages has taken a role objectives in making sure that there is no a single increase in population, despite the food shortage others like, floods, earth quakes and desertification have come up claiming a large number of innocent lives everywhere in the world.
Another threat of increase in population is the increase in number of accidents, it has shot up taking a mass number of people’s lives. Road accidents being one of this, it has played a severe role in reducing the number of people now and then, water ways, air transport and railways has been one of the threats which happens to kill many people once an accidents occurs.
Accidents of collapsing buildings have also played a big role in the limitation process accompanied by its brother in the mining process where many people happen to wok.
Early dearth rates or immature deaths have also contributed in the limitation process. Many youths are believed to die while they are still young. This is due to influence due to their habitants, through drug abuse. Many have been dying and while still so young leaving the country to been taken care by the old ones. Through criminal activities, a quite large number has been known to also loose hope and end up dying or being jailed.
Due to those energetic people being lost, countries/nations have experienced other calamities in the manufacturing industries hence the number of population in both sides lowering by a great deal.
Finally, use of technology in the field of fire has lost many and a mass number of innocent people to loose their lives. The introduction of atomic bombs and fire weapons such as machine guns has greatly undermined the increase of human population. These has caused more effects in the history of countries like Japan on which they can still be felt up to now.
Minor accidents, incidents, suicidal progress and others have also played a role in limiting the population growth in the world. These are minor cases which when put together cause assure you many hearts & souls if not energetic people are lost day in day out thus the population of the world being at stake if not carefully taken care of.

Should Kenya's Government be gender based.
SHOULD KENYA’S GOVERNMENT BE GENDER BASED?
Gender refers to male and female, thus gender-based refers to the activities done basing in terms of sex. These activities aims at improving the status of an individual, society and even a country , on the other hand where there is discrimination in terms of gender , there is possibility of odd tradition practices existing. Therefore Kenya’s government should not be gender based as it greatly contributes to corruption and may also affect the country’s economy as stated below.
Years ago, women were not equipped with high education as it was referred as a waste. Girls were to remain with their mothers so as to learn more on how to maintain a house. This kind of discrimination brought so many negative effects to many families and to Kenya, as able women were denied opportunities where they could do best. All in all, the government today has tried hard to fight against this, although it is said that in every market place there lacks not a mad person. It is sad that still in some communities this exists.
In Kenya there is also a tradition that men believe that they are the only ones who can do certain work and in this case women are always denied such opportunities, these works include construction works and heavy machines operations of which some women are very able and have even been doing well than men. This affects the workability of Kenyans which lowers the country economy. Due to this there should not be discrimination in terms of sex when employing people. The government of Kenya has tried to fight against this through training ladies and gentlemen who will and with certain qualifications to be Kenya’s forces and also encouraging women in organisations through giving them funds to start projects.
Other issues such as leadership are also affected, In some communities women are not recognised as to be good leaders due to traditional beliefs hence women have no word in terms of decisions making nor leading as they are traditionally known to be under their husbands and to an extent ‘men’s property’ this is dangerous as men may make decisions that are wrong thus ruining families. It is clear that Kenya is a free country and a democratic one where everyone has freedom of expression hence such discriminations are against the law but still practiced in some communities, the government has dealt a big deal with this as it has tried to enlighten its people from such traditions through the encouragement of the need of education and adopting the day to day living seizing traditions. It has also encouraged women who have been elected as members of parliament by giving them ministries to control, thus showing them that they have all the potential.
Furthermore, corruption has increased greatly in Kenya due to gender bias. In offices, hotels, clubs and other works that are easy, many are the women who work there despite their low levels of education, although not all, some men may have high levels of educations and experienced but denied jobs due to their appearance.
Everyone has a right as appearance is part of God’s gift, thus when employing people it should not be based in terms of sex.
All in all, these are just but a few ways in which gender discrimination has affected the community of Kenya as whole and the resolutions that the government has made to ensure equality among all. Thus this shows that Kenya’s government trying to emphasise and equality does work in terms of gender basis , to conclude Kenya’s government still has much to do to ensure that the traditions that are trying many communities have adopted the new living and adopts gender equality, so Kenya’s government should not support gender basis.

Should there be limits of freedom in the press.
SHOULD THERE BE LIMITS ON THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Limits of the freedom of the press should be installed.
The reason is because once these press institutions are allowed to write everything, they will probably corrupt and change the mind of the masses.
As it is known already, the press newspapers and articles are the voice of the masses, so a small permission by the press to the government may bring about numerous complains and even rebellion to the government.
The government has secrets which are not useful to the people. Example is the paper in government called the ‘Kenya Gazette’. It is a newspaper that contains all the ongoing practices in parliament, it also contains the hidden secrets of Kenya. When the press is allowed to write and publish everything, the enemies of our country Kenya may know our secrets and they may easily destroy our income resources and thus demolish the prevailing peace and unity in our country.
The press persons are professionals in exaggerations. They may enlarge a small issue and make it a country wide pandemic, although it is from this exaggerations that they earn their daily bread, it may cause a worse turn around of events, for example tribal wars, this may cause a deteriorating economy in our country and thus welcome poverty-a great enemy.
When the press lacks anything astonishing to surprise the people, they may end up giving fake propaganda to the public. Due to their creativity they may make up anything whether optimistic or pessimistic so as to get good sales of their articles.
They usually value money more than public effect. For example, if the press put up a story that is undermining the efficiency of the government, all the people will change their attitudes toward the government and they may feel totally exploited. This will cause a great drift in the economy of the country since many people will refuse to pay taxes.
There are some press institutions that produce pornographic literature, magazines and films, once these pornographic materials reach the untargeted group, it may lead to obscene exposure to the minds of the group , for example children. A child will have the desire to engage in sex which leads to fornication. Once one is addicted to sexual intercourse, he or she may eventually acquire sexual transmitted disease or even H.I.V/ AIDS which is a killer disease. This leads to low population and thus a great depreciation in economy.
So if these press institutions have no limited freedom, they may corrupt minds and change the country to a prostitution camp. This may lead to deaths and loss of hope among the public.
As to me, the freedom of the press must be limited.
It is mandatory for the limitation of the freedom of the press.

What are the limitations of population growth.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF POPULATION GROWTH?
Population refers to people inhabiting a given place. However, population growth has limitations as it creates pressure on the available resources such as, schools, health facilities, roads, land and communication for example it causes heavy traffic in major urban centres and over exploitation of sectors such as the health sectors causing deplorable conditions.
It also leads to high dependency ratio as a large proportion of the population may be unskilled or young leading to relatively small proportion of adults of working age hence they are dependent on by those who are not working for survival, those depended on do not have extra income to invest and their purchasing power is eroded, this retards a country’s development.
Moreover, population growth causes unemployment as the available employment does not increase at the same rate as the population causing many skilled and unskilled people. This poses danger as such people can engage themselves in crime.
Population growth goes hand in hand with growth of slums as many people in rural areas find themselves without a docent income due to deteriorating living standards when they move in towns in search of a better life. The slums luck the basic necessities such as housing, since people can not afford high rent in towns. They move to cheap but poorly constructed structures without utilities such as water electricity and proper drainage.
More so it causes migration of people in search of better opportunities hence when they move they exert pressure on the resource in the destination area.
However, population growth cause land fragmentation where land is subdivided to smaller portions which are uneconomical to farms and are affected by soil erosion reduce soil fertility.
It also poses a threat to the environment as it causes destruction through pressure on the environment which can not sustain the population where there is excessive tree felling leading to soil erosion, loss of water catchments areas and climate change.
Population growth also diversifies the government expenditure from investment as it becomes a problem when it can not be catered for by the economy of the country making it difficult for the country to save money for the development because money gained is spent on provision of basic necessities, for example, food water and hospital.
The condition is worsened by food shortage resulting in higher rate of consumption and low rate of population leading to inadequate food supply for the population. High rate of crime is also evident in the high population due to lack of basic necessities much people to engage in unlawful.
