Left-handedness

Many believe that left-handedness is a deviation from the norm, that if a person writes with his left hand, it means that everything is not right with him. However, this common misconception, however, is not the only one on this topic. About what the truth and myths about the left hand are, we'll talk now.

Which hand will be the main - depends on the ratio of the development of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. If the left hemisphere is more developed, it means that the child will write with his right hand, like most people, if the right hemisphere exceeds the left one in development, then the child refers to 10 percent of people whose leading hand is left. In Russia until 1985, teachers were obliged to make all students write with their right hand, regardless of the desires and comforts of the children themselves.

As you know, the left hemisphere is responsible for logic, analysis, language abilities, that is, a person with a more developed left hemisphere is usually predisposed to exact sciences, is able to think quickly and logically, but, say, to writing poems, not all such people have abilities .

And the right hemisphere is responsible for figurative thinking, musicality, creativity, creative inclinations, for this reason among lefties so many creative personalities.

Also in ancient times it was believed that the left-handers were awkward and awkward people. This is a simple explanation: in those days, unlike ours, all tools and other tools existed only for right-handed people, so the left-hander should not have dropped a bad tool in his hand or injured someone with an uncomfortable scythe. Now, with the invention of the most convenient devices, left-handers have no need to use uncomfortable things.

For a long time there was a myth that left-handed people can achieve success only in art and creativity. This is incorrect because, firstly, the brain can not be concluded in any frame and make it work only in one key, and secondly, although the left-handers are dominated by the right hemisphere, the left is not absent, like the rest of the people Not missing the right.

Equally, it is not considered that there is a relationship between autism and left-handedness. This conclusion is made by people who have heard about the asymmetry of the hands, inherent in more than 90 percent of people with this disease. However, asymmetry and left-handedness are not the same thing at all.

Another myth about left-handers is that most of them have problems with alcohol and are most often subject to alcoholism. In any case, there was no correlation between the more developed right hemisphere and alcoholism. However, where this myth came from, you can understand, because many famous creative people are known for their addiction to alcoholic beverages, although, again, not all, like not all of them left-handed.

Whatever it was, I must say that it is worthwhile to judge a person not by what hand he writes, but by his most important personal qualities: kindness, humanity. And also on his business.
