“左撇子”不是病,而是一种正常的生理现象,其形成与遗传有一定关系,但医学界尚无定论。人的左右脑分工不同,左脑控制逻辑、语言、抽象思维,而右脑具有音乐、绘画、空间几何、想象、综合等功能;对“左撇子”而言,右脑就是他的优势半球。
左撇子们宣言,建立国际左撇子日的目的在于团结世界各地的左撇子为争取自身的利益而斗争,唤起全社会对左撇子问题的关注,提醒人们在一个以右撇子为主的社会中改进产品的设计并更多考虑左撇子的方便与安全,消释数千年来在各种文化中都存在而今天也还在不断制造着的对左撇子的偏见。
有几十个国家的左撇子组织庆祝这一节日,遍布世界各洲。欧洲是左撇子组织活跃的地方,庆祝活动更为隆重。(中国进出口网)
