With those suggestions we could, in a way, train ourselves to think in a new way. This suggests that the reason why we think either left or right is because of what we've been introduced to in our lives. With that being said, how do you expect things to change? <br />Our schools are more acclimated toward left-brained thinkers, we live in a society where it is dominated by left-brained people, and, not to mention, these people can be narcissistic and self-absorbed. This means that a challenge to their intelligence could trigger a massive superiority complex which could further handicap a rise in right-brained thinkers. With all these things working against a growth of right-brained people, how and will there still be a change?
