1. the general nature of all animated life is t hat is the constant tendency of all animated life to increase beyond the nourishment provided for it. 2. by that law of our nature which makes food necessary to the life of man population can never actually increase beyond the lowest nourishment capable of supporting it a strong check on population, namely, the difficulty of acquiring food, must be constantly in operation. 3. Malthus argued that increased arithmatically are limited by the availability of Newland. 4.  these increase mortality rate and reduce life expectancy and hence the population. these include natural disasters farmines epidemics. Malthus saw these as nature's way of controlling the population. he believed that they were divinely ordained. these are practices which you limit reproduction or fertility. these include abstinence which necessitates moral restraint and delay of marriage. Malthus was aware that moral restraint was difficult as people gain pleasure

Alex Fuller 11/13/19 There were at least two children per women to ensure a stable population from generation to generation. in 1960 there was a rate of 5 children per women, now in 2017 that has fallen to 2.4 average. the bigger the population the more houses needed to be built which means more work more everything basically. the government is still trying to manage population. the women in France can still work with new born babies, free daycares are taking babies as little as 3 months old. women only earn 72% of what men earn and in France 99% are literate. One women for all three births it didn't effect the employers decision. the amount of time she could work went down to 80% after her third child.

Alex Fuller 11/12/19 at this moment about 7 billion people live on this earth. we are at a stable rate with how many births and deaths even out. many countries only limit their women to have two children but some don't care and they could have ten if they wanted. both of these situations are bad because 1 we shouldn't control how many kids a person wants but also some people are having 8 children. at a certain point something needs to happen. because these people that have many children can't always afford it, so they go to the government for money. this is not helpful for our society because instead of using it for the women who decided to have many children it could go toward something else that benifitted our country. but at the same time there are many deaths happening which might not always make up for all the people born.
