Well if you think about it, children are guided into shifting their main perception to their left side of their brain through years of education and societal expectations. Most people are right body dominant (left brain dominate) rather than a 50/50 mix which you might expect based on averages and taking into account that most women are naturally right brain oriented.
I've been meaning to start a thread about this as it makes sense that if you are out to better control a society you first control how they think and that's been accomplished through many years of educational programming. Even at graduation from schools, the tassel is moved from right to left at the end of the ceremony to seal the deal.
The right brain activities are not encouraged which moves the person away from a feeling centered perception. You can reason yourself to do just about anything from good to bad when you become disconnected from how you feel. We are not taught to trust our intuition, treat one another based on feeling or many things that would actually make us better people all around.
We have been conned into pulling the cart and chasing the carrot for generations now and it turns out the only passengers really benefiting are a small group of families who invented a thing called money and learned to play us against one another throughout history while controlling what is taught about their version of history. They have hidden themselves pretty well and achieved much but will not settle until they control your very souls.
Learn to feel again, use both sides of your mind and see their games for what they are.edit on 8-1-2013 by starshift because: clarificaiton

Very true. There is is no real dichotomy of being totally left brain or right brain, unless one side is all you physically have access to! Different sides and sections of the brain generally control different areas (ie speech vs memory vs math equations) but they most all interact in a series of functions. Besides, left/right brain dominance hasn't been proven to be racial or genetic, has it?
The correlation between eye dominance and left or right-handedness exists because of certain functions the dominant eye performs unconsciously for the human body. In particular, the human brain relies on both the dominant eye, and dominant side inner ear, to make subtle corrections in balance as a person sits upright, stands and walks. The fluid levels in the inner ear stimulate membranes that tell the brain when the head changes position and the dominant eye is used to look at the horizon in order to correct the balance of the upright body as it moves. This process occurs even as the body moves, by walking or running, and can be observed, with some acrobatic difficulty, by a person walking in front and to the side of another person and concentrating on the position of the pupil of the eye in relation to the entire eye. As the subject walks, you will observe slight up and down movement of the pupil as the eye maintains focus on the horizon in front of the walker. This movement of the eye is not noticeable by the subject and is not, therefore, something capable of "self-discovery

The widespread lateralization of many vertebrate animals indicates an evolutionary advantage associated with the specialization of each hemisphere.[27] In one experiment, baby chicks were lateralized before hatching by exposing their eggs to light.[28] These chicks were set to a task of picking out food from a bed of pebbles. Neither the lateralized, nor the non-lateralized chicks had a problem with this task, but the lateralized chicks only used the eye on the side of which they were lateralized to pick up the pebbles. When presented with a second task of watching for a cutout of a predatory hawk, the discrepancy between lateralized and non-lateralized chicks became evident. Lateralized chicks could pick food out of the pebbles with one eye and one half of the brain[29] while using the other eye and other half of their brain to monitor the skies for predators.[30] Not only could non-lateralized chicks not complete the two tasks simultaneously, but their performance of the single task deteriorated. This suggests that the evolutionary advantage of lateralization comes from the capacity to perform separate parallel tasks in each hemisphere of the brain.[27]

Agreed that the dominance thing doesn't make much sense. I'm one of a number of people who are "cross-dominant" -- strongly righthanded, but target with my left hand. And I can be both strongly logical and strongly artistic.
