Teeth Brushing: Variance Between Individuals Due to the fact that a main part of this occupation for me is that I do it with my roommate Danielle, I can see that there is an abundance of ways that this task can be done. A clear example is that Danielle adds another step to her oral hygiene routine, which is flossing. I do not floss because I have never been okay with putting something between my teeth like that, but she does it every day twice a day. On the other hand, I use mouthwash and…

You gotta get out, I told her. What? Leave. Get out. Fuck you, she said. Spit came out of her mouth and landed on her chin. She leaned in before she opened the door. You’re just like him. You’re shit. You’re both shit. Something moved inside my stomach as I watched Meg walk back into the bar. It felt like a slimy worm was trying to make a home right there above my bladder. I put my clothes back on, except for my jeans, and drove home trying to forget about what Meg had said and that ugly…

The handedness of a person can be determined if the specific hand can do the task comfortably in situations like writing and throwing. The right-handedness of the people has approximately 85% in the society (Porac, 2016). Statistically, the right-handed are more dominant and common than left-handed which is fewer to individuals.

Sure, lefties make up about 10 percent of the population — but, frankly, it seems like society has forgotten about them. Just condsider all of the right-handed gadgets, awkwardly designed desks, and cooking tools that fit comfortably only in your right hand. the "sinistral brain" of the lefty uses the right hemisphere of the brain more dominantly than the left side of the brain — just as right-handed people use the left side of the brain for everyday thought process.

the corpus callosum (Gray, 1985). The two hemispheres demonstrate strong, but not comprehensive, bilateral symmetry in both structure and performance. Handedness is not a single variable, but can be placed in a spectrum of 4 separate categories; left-handedness, right-handedness, mixed-handedness, and ambidexterity (Annette, 2002).
