451- WHICH "SIDE" of Your BRAIN ARE YOU?...IT'S MORE INVOLVED THAN THAT "SIMPLE" DECLARATION!...

A) Maybe the best side should actually be a more "balanced brain." One of the most interesting sections of my Sociology classes, over the years, was the presentation of data and theories on the "left and right" sides of our brain. For years, the predominate question appeared to be whether "you" were one or the other. Now, another approach is beginning to become important...how to bring the two together to form what could be called a more "balanced brain!"
B) "Experts" have concluded that the Left Brain is more articulate, to the point, orderly and literal, good at understanding directions...abstract concepts. But tend to become flustered when things are not clear.
C) The Right Brain tends to be more visual, better at summarizing, intuitive. Picking up what's not seen....but lacking attention to detail. (Remember...we're dealing with generalizations.)
D) But...some of us believe that we can begin to learn to use a more balanced brain, the best elements of each side, with both sides working together to confront the world and society in front of us! I like and appreciate that challenging concept....
