According to Left-handers International, 12.8% of the world's population is left-handed, a minimum percentage of people who have had to get accustomed to certain difficulties of day-to-day activities, because society has not accommodated so much space in common as the different tools to fit the left-handed people.
Reason why since children have had to adapt obligatorily to things like the right "desks, computer mouse or cars in some parts of the world, in short, these impediments are what have led them to be built organizations such as the International Lefties Club, founded in the United Kingdom in 1992, which has sought to demystify the superstitions around those who write with the left. In fact, the left-handers' day is celebrated annually on 13 August.
In antiquity the left-handed people were not very well regarded for the rest, many religions even today consider that the people who write with that hand are impure or pagan. In China for example, it is forced to eat and write to children with the right hand, according to data quoted by Shock.co, in countries like India is also almost mandatory to eat with the right hand as their beliefs say that acts bad guys are done with the left hand.
In the case of the Islamists everything that is done with the left is impure, reason why in the Middle East they hold the toilet paper with this hand and in Colombia surely you will have heard that when somebody is told to him that it "was lifted with the foot left "is because he has had a bad day or is very" cranky "or that if he has red left ear is because they are talking badly about you.
So things and to give a little encouragement to the different gossip or beliefs we bring you seven things in which according to Playground, you are definitely usually better than others:
1. They are better at sport: if they are left-handed, they are more likely to do well and be successful in soccer, boxing and tennis. It is the case of well-known characters such as Barcelona striker Leo Messi, Real Madrid striker Gareth Bale, star boxer of the 60s and 70s, Muhammad Ali or the well-known Spanish tennist Rafael Nadal.
According to a study by the neuroscientist Guy Azemar for the French Institute of Sports and Physical Education, left-handed athletes are better, especially in "opposition" sports. This is due to two issues: the left-handed brains are distributed more symmetrically and the right-handers are not accustomed to playing against a left-handed opponent.
2. They are better at making decisions: however simple they are, all the time we have to make some kind of decision, the difference with lefties is that they do not hesitate so much in their answer, they are concrete. According to researchers at the University of Abertay, people who use the left hand take more time to do unknown tasks and think more about the consequences. This is because most things in the world are designed for right-handed people and force lefties to think more.
3. They are better at fights: if you ever have a problem, call a left-handed friend. He will know what to do. According to psychology professor at University College London, Chris McManus, being left-handed gives advantages in fights. The reason? Very simple. Nobody expects a hook on the left.
4. They are better at televising debates: they like to debate, to discuss a topic is their greater entertainment and even more if they have any affinity with politics. According to researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, we are inspired by the gestures made with the right hand. When you see a politician on television analyze his gestures and you will realize that the mirror effect is what causes this sensation. Why do you think Obama won the election?
5. They are better at drinking: according to a study published in the British Journal of Health Pyschology, the left-handers drink more. Although there is an association between lefties and alcohol consumption, no evidence has been found that it could be a health risk.
6. Lefties are more moody: the lefties have to be patient or, in a given case, run away. The reason is that they do not usually stay in a single hemisphere of the brain, they move from one side to another so that they do not manage to control or manage their emotions in the best way.
7. They are better at writing with the right than right-wingers with the left: a study from the University of Adelaide in Australia indicates. Do the homework ask a right-handed friend to write his name and write it yourself, you will notice that the one who wrote with the right hand trembles more and makes many more scribbles.
