13 august: Ziua Internațională a Stângacilor. Ce înseamnă să fii stângaci într-o lume construită pentru dreptaci

International Left-Handers Day, celebrated on August 13, highlights the challenges faced by left-handed individuals in a right-handed world. Approximately 10.6% of the global population is left-handed, with varying estimates. The day aims to raise awareness about the difficulties left-handers encounter, such as using tools designed for right-handers. Historically, left-handed children were often forced to write with their right hand. Research indicates both genetic and brain organization factors contribute to left-handedness, but no single 'left-handed gene' exists. In sports, left-handed athletes may have an advantage due to their rarity. Notable left-handed figures include Leonardo da Vinci and Barack Obama, emphasizing that left-handedness is a natural variation, not a deficiency.
