I was left-handed at birth(?), but parents made me a righty at a young age, and so I became a righty from then on. =P
I can do some things with my left hand.. such as chopsticks, but parents don't allow me to do most things with only my left hand.
And about the (?) at birth, I'm not sure if you were born with a certain hand, or if it has something to do with how you are treated or what you do at a young age. But either way the point is that I was originally left-handed, then became a righty from my parents.
And while thinking I found that left-hand people are being discriminated in all sorts of way. Some of examples as proof are:-
1) Kick of bikes or scooters are always on right side & that's because the inventor must have been right-handed & thought since right side is more powerful so kick should be in right side, completely ignoring the lefties.
2) A very common example is screw. The screws which are available in market are such that they unscrew in right direction & screw in left direction, that's also because its more natural for righties to unscrew in right direction but its visa-versa for lefties. Washing machines timers also have same problem.
3) This is my personal example, my microwave oven & many which I have seen have control panel on their right, obviously, so that person standing in front of it can operate it easily(of course that is valid only for righties)
4) See the keyboard by which you are typing, there are more keys provided to right hand side in the form of home keys etc. & numeric keys.
Who knows some where some one may have died just because of this discrimination?
That's actually a pretty good point, I never really thought of that. But I think they're just small things in the world, I mean come on, nobody's gonna die from a slightly hard time screwing in a screw, or operating microwave ovens.
