right brain rising

To think that as I am typing this short essay my brain is functioning in unison. That the left side of my brain is logically thinking of what to type in sequence, while my right side is viewing the context and the big picture. This type of information was something unfamiliar to me before reading “A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future,” by Daniel H. Pink. He brings forth new ideas of how the brain truly functions and entails that the right brain is no longer a passenger to the left side of the brain. He makes the audience aware of the fact that the right side of the brain is no longer a passenger to that of the left side of the brain. It use to be that that the left hemisphere was in complete control of the right hemisphere, thus making the left side the reason we were human. Pink also mentions that a professor with the name of Roger W. Sperry opened our minds to a new perspective of how the brain works. The right side of the brain simply was just different. Sperry mentioned that the left side of the brain was more analytical with words while the right was more expressive with emotions. We are made by two minds that are fused together by a complex system of brain cells. Neither the left nor the right can function properly when one side is no longer active. Which makes both sides crucial to the distinct way humans operate. He states four key differences between the two sides that allow us to formally visualize our way of living. The first one mentions that the left side controls the right side of the body and the right side controls the left side of the body. Which makes sense that people would believe the left side to be the more dominant, as most of us are right-handed and more dominant with our right side. The second key indicates that the left side is sequential while the right side is simultaneous. Meaning that the right side takes care of the visual aspect and understanding all of the elements in a situation, while
