Being right-handed is more common in Western countries such as the U.S. and Canada. Is this also the case in other parts of the world? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Yes, being right handed is more common all over the world. In many cultures, the left hand is believed to be evil or dangerous. For example, in many Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, the left hand is supposed to be used for cleaning oneself after going to the bathroom. It may be that the left was considered inferior to the right because left-handedness is correlated with a number of problems, such as birth complications and learning disabilities.
