Marine vessels.

There are many different types of marine vessels, first of all a marine vessel is something that can be used to move arround on water without it sinking. this means that all marine vessels should be able to float. there are many types of marine vessels some of them that i learnt this term are like.

• comercial vessel


• fishing vessels


• passenger vessles and


• cargo ships

A comercial vessel can be anything. it could be a boat or even a ship. commercial vessels can be used in many ways it could be engaged in commercial trade or even it could be used to carry passangers if they have hired it.

A fishing boat can be used when people want to go fishing they use this boat because it has safficient space and allows then to fish and that has space where they can put their fish.

passanger vessels. these also could be any kind of vesseles e.g it could be a ship and this vessel is used to carry passangers arround. like a ship is an example of a passanger vessel because it can carry passangers around maybe for a cruise.

cargo ship. these are ship that are used to bring and take goods from one place to another. they mostly carry huge containers holding peoples different items which have been shipd or are being shiped to or from another country.

in my group for d.t we deccided to make a war ship. first we deccicded to make this because it would be eunique and also because we wanted to give ourselves a little challange. we were inspired to make a war ship because we all liked a movie that we used to watch and it was about pirates so it inspired us to make a war ship because the ship that was in the movie was really attractive and big.

For this project we had to go through many stages before we could get to our final piece of work. we had different stages like the investigate stage where you find the problem and think of a solution. than we have the plan stage where you say what youre going to make for who youre going to make it and why have you choosen to make what you have deccided to make.

than we have the design stage where you test different designs of what you are making and choose the best. and finally you do the create stage where you make your final product.

we deccided to assign everyone a certain stage and i was assigned to do the investigate stage where by i had to identify my problem and explain. my problem was the high increase in piracy so i deccided to investigate about the piracy going on and finally beccided to make a war ship. this would solve the problem because there would be extra ship patroling areas which would makw people feel more safe.

my strengths in this stage were that i had alot of pasion to make a war ship because i enjoy seeing big ships and love watching movies that have to do with piracy so this inspired me to do my work well the weaknesses that i faced were that ot was very difficult for us to get togather as a group we would always end up fighting and argueing and we werent always serious.

Land Ownership in Kenya

Kenya has been abiding to a constitution since 1962.This constitution is out dated but is still active today. Some Kenyans wants to make a new constitution because times have changed and we can not keep using the old constitution. In the constitution proposed many problems are rising such as: Classification of land
61. All land in Kenya belongs to the people of Kenya collectively as a nation, as communities and as individuals.
In Kenya, land owned by someone who wasn’t born in Kenya or who isn’t a Kenyan cannot own land for more than a certain period of time 99years, this is a problem because for example people who own land and aren’t Kenyan may have land that they do business on and may want to leave it for their future generation but they can’t because the land is not permanently theirs. An example is like the owner of Delmonte has a piece of land that he uses to grow their fruits that they use to produce juices, but they can’t leave the business to their next generation because it isn’t entirely theirs. This is a disadvantage to the owner of the land just because he isn’t a Kenyan.
Problems that may arise because of this are like:
They will be court cases, people will be fighting for land, deaths will be caused etc.
To avoid any of these problems we should make a new constitution.

Comparing two countries.
Comparing Kenya to a country like the U.S it is very different because after six months of living in the U.S you become a citizen of the country and that means that you can own any land there and it can’t be taken from you. Unlike in Kenya where by if you’re not a citizen of Kenya you can’t own land for a long period of time.

complains.

I found a video of a Kenyan family complaining about the government chasing them out of their property. They did not understand why, they said that the government said that it wasn’t their land but the governments land. This was thousands of acres and the father was a farmer. It was harvest season, but because of the government taking them away. The did not manage to harvest anything. Date: September 18th 2009.

interviews.
I interviewed two people who are not Kenyan but own land in Kenya. This was my mother and my uncle.
My mother said that she feels angry and unfair because she wants to build apartments in Mombasa but if the land is not hers, then she can never be too sure if the government comes and takes away everything

My uncle is a farmer who has a huge farm. He plants wheat. He lives in Rift Valley. My grandfather gave him the land to preserve and run. He wants to extend this by buying more land. Since the draft constitution says that the land cannot belong to him for ever and he is upset and thinks the law should be revisited.

personal opinion.

according to me i think that a new constitution should be made because the one that is active at the moment is too old, times have changed in the same way that the constitution should be changed.

aknowledgements.
