There are millions of left—handed.people in the world.A number of them got together in1975 to form an association called Lefthanders International.The purpose of the organization isto fight discrimination(particularly in jobs)and to inform the public.They want everybody tounderstand the left.handress are neither“strange”nor sick nor drangerous.
Many studies have been made recently about hand preferance in humans.They havebrought interesting results.It has been found，for instance，that many more men tha.n womenare left—handed.that all children use both hand about equally until they are three years oldand that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six.Above that age，most people notonly favour one purtitular hand but also have a favourite eye，a favourite ear and foot.
We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain，whichseem8 that this particular half is the seat of emotions，imagination，and of the sense of space.And，indeed，lefties seem to be more creative than the fight—handers;they also seem to bemore athletic and to do better in some professions which like sports require a good sense ofsDace.In a large school of architecture，it was found in 1977 that 29%of tlle professors and23%of the graduating statents were left handed-while lefties represent less than l0%of thegeneral population.
Finally.1eft handers may be more stubborn and more impulsive(沖動(dòng)的)than righthanders.And thev are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering(口吃)and adifficulty in reading called dyslexia.The problems are more serious in left handed persons whohave been forced to favour their right hard.Doctors insist that one should never try to change achild’s hand preference.
