Textbook Trading Services Provide Incredible Value for Students

Textbook Trading Services Provide Incredible Value for Students

Author: Ryan Barclay

Do students really get the most possible value out of their textbook purchases? To many college and university students, textbooks are meant to be bought, utilized, and sold. This process is intuitive, but is it the best for students? The answer is, probably not. Students buy textbooks for as much as $200, use them for less than four months, and resell them to campus bookstores to regain roughly a mere thirty-five percent of the purchase price.
Many website services have been established to compete with campus bookstores for a slice of the used textbook markets. While these services provide better buyback prices than campus stores, these services fail to give students anywhere near the maximum value of their books, often reselling used books at considerably higher prices. Consequently, these textbook buyback services are comparable to traditional campus bookstores.
Yet, another type of internet textbook service is one that creates marketplaces for people to buy and sell textbooks. However, these marketplace services often charge a hefty commission fee to sellers. The fee can be as much as eighteen percent of the textbook value, thereby taking a considerable chunk of the seller’s proceeds. Moreover, many of the textbook sellers on these marketplace services are bookstores that resell used books at marked up prices. Therefore, marketplace services can have the same disadvantages for students as the campus bookstore model.
The best possible textbook exchange service for students is one that creates an environment where only students may participate. This ensures that students retain the maximum value of their textbooks by directly exchanging books with each other.
Textlister.com creates such an environment for students and goes a step further by providing a system for students to trade textbooks without the need to exchange money. Textbook trading services designed solely for student use give college and university students the best value for their textbooks.

Right to Produce Children

Right to Produce Children

Author: Dalip Singh Wasan

Right to produce children.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

It is believed that we all have been sent by God and we live life till we are allowed to live and when the tenure is over, He calls us back and we die. On the other hand the people in the science faculties have said that we may produce a child or we may not produce a child and some of the countries could stop production of children as per will of the parents or the will of the state. They say that only those parents should be allowed to produce children we are in a position to bring up their children in a suitable manner. Only those people should be allowed to give birth to children who are in a position to provide proper education and proper training to their children so that those children could be adjusted at proper work from where they should be in a position to bring proper earnings with which they could be able to run the family administration and should in no case be a burden on their parents, on the society around them and on the state.
In some countries the states are coming forward with legislations and therefore, the people of India should also think on these points and they should also pass a legislation through which they should stop those parents who are not in a position to give proper life to the children . Such parents have got no right to produce children because they are creating burden on the earth, on the society around them and then they are creating a burden on the state in which they live and they are enjoying their life because these children are no burden on them and these small children are deployed on different works and they are earning for their parents. Such parents are criminals, people who are committing sins and misconducts and the states are not identifying these people and are not awarding them punishment. That is the reason such countries are not going ahead with all their efforts and they are still lodged in those compartments which are called compartments for backward people.
Time has come when the state must come forward with legislations and only those parents be allowed to have children who are in a position to give due bringing up and proper education to their children and if they are not in a position to provide such facilities to their children then should be sterilized under the law or the state must come forward to take up all the responsibilities of such children. In most of the backward and developing countries the states are not in a solvent position and therefore, these states are not taking up any responsibility and these unwanted children are adding to the miseries of the people around them. Till the states can come with such legislations, they should take up all the responsibilities of these children and every child sent from the side of God should be given a happy welcome and he should be properly accommodated and brought up in a right manner and all his faculties be utilized for the welfare of people of the country. A child who has come on this world should not be allowed to suffer only because his parents are not in a position to bear his costs. And since we had been leaving all to the parents, we are creating all types of people who are committing crimes, sins and misconducts and because of these illegal activities, the whole nation is suffering law and order problems. So first of all the nations must concentrate on the children who are coming on this earth and they must arrange for proper settlement of those children.
