The Hemispheres of the Society

Hi everybody!

No!!! I can't belevie it, but it's true. The classes has begun again, and English IV too.

Okey, this time i talk to you about "talk" called, The "Divided Brain", by Ian Mc Gilchrist.

Mainly the narrator, Ian  Mc Gilchrist, explains that the brain hemispheres works deeply together, not as some scientists explain, which separate the Reason and emotion in different hemispheres, as well as with language and vision, this latter is absolutely false.

Another thing important that Ian talk us it's about the way that the human percieve the world, and how this affect to our behaviour as society. All this is product from the complete connection between both hemispheres, that is the union between the emotional and the rational
 
But the most importatn about this speech is the relationship between how works our brains and the way that modern society has been built during the time, with wars, racism and social injustice.

In my opinion, after hearing this excellent speech, I choose a phrase that sums up our society based on the functioning of our brain:

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithfull servent, we have created a society that honours the servent, but has forgotten the gift" ...........Just Think about it.

Good luck and God bless you
