Comparing Left-Handed and Right-Handed People

Are left-handed people more intelligent and creative than the

right-handed in Mayfield High School?

In my coursework, I am going to focus on the IQ, Key Stage 2 results,

favourite colour, favourite subject and height of students in Mayfield

High School.

Specify, I will concentrate on the Year 7,8 and 9 boys and girls

because these year groups have closer relationship with the Key Stage

2 results.

In the following coursework I am going to investigate:

1) Do left-handed people have a higher IQ than the right-handed?

2) There is a correlation between the IQ and the Key Stage 2 results

for the left-handed and the right handed.

3) Red colour always gives people the feeling of aggressive. Creative

people often have new ideas and are willing to try, so more

left-handed people like "red" than right-handed.

4) The subjects " Design & Technology", "Art" and "Music" always

require

creativity. More left-handed people like these subjects.

Before selecting the data, I will stratify the data. Stratifying data

can reflect all of the data in Mayfield College,

  • Negative Effects Of Microaggressions

    953 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over time, outsiders opposed to the LGBT ingroup have created cruel assumptions about the sex lives/health of gay men based on minorities. These assumptions are constantly in circulation; gay men can’t be monogamous, carry AIDS and can’t help themselves from hitting on straight men (Engle, 2017). These microaggressions that continue to harm gay men. Another assumption surrounding gay men that is translated into a microaggression is the idea that gay men sacrifice their masculinity for their sexual orientation. There is a general expectation around the behavioural traits expected in gay men; they’re weak, delicate, stylish, and associate themselves more so with women (Engle, 2017). This expectation is harmful, as closeted gay men may want to avoid the gain of this stereotype in avoidance of being told ‘you don’t act gay’ as if it’s an accomplishment. The Journal of Gay & Lesbian Mental Health also saw gay men resenting the ‘gay friend’ label, as if their sexuality was used for personal gain rather than pure friendship. These negative microaggressions can lead to the individual ‘lashing out’. Michael Eagles, a long-term Truckee and openly gay man, faced extreme homophobia and threats from one of his colleagues. In one incident, the perpetrator threatened Eagles with hammer, saying that ‘gay men can’t fight’. Eagles quickly proved this claim wrong by initiating a brawl that would send the perpetrator to hospital. 10 years later,

  • CCR-Block: Internalized Homophobia In The LGBTQ Community

    Within the LGBTQ community, internalized homophobia is an extremely prevalent occurrence. One in which members of the LGBTQ community believe that the negative connotations and stigmas towards LGBTQ individuals are true. This, in part, is due to anti-gay and heteronormative social environments which have mental health effects on gays and lesbians. Ilan H. Meyer, a psychiatric epidemiologist, has referred to these negative social environments as a form of minority stress and has done extensive research on describing its effect on mental health. Gregory M. Herek states that “At the core of minority stress is some kind of conflict or disharmony between the minority member and the dominant social environment.” The most insidious attribute of internalized homophobia is that the people who experience it may not realize that it is directly related to the person’s low self-regard

  • A Two Tale Comparison

    1449 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thinking back to our childhood, we all remember hearing many kinds of fairy tales. Some of them inspired us others confused us, and most of them taught us valuable lessons. Through out centuries tales and stories have been used as a valuable tool to pass on our culture to new generations. There is a strong belief that these fairy tales mirror and influence society. All cultures interpret tales in their own unique way. They add and subtract various aspects of the tale to fit the needs of their particular society. The same tale in the United States is different from the tale told in Asia. A good example of tale evolution can be seen in one of the most famous tales ever told which is “Cinderella”. As a professor of women’s history Karol Kelley points out in her essay Pretty Woman: A Modern Cinderella “There are some 700 versions of Cinderella”.This fairy tale as many others has been changing for many years, and in recent years Cinderella has come under some criticism for its depiction of women’s roles in society.

  • Tracing the Roots of Human Inequality

    The term homophobia has been coined by George Weinberg in the late 1960’s to define the dislike or prejudice against a person who is, or perceived to be homosexual . Throughout history, and to the present day homosexuals do not fit into the traditional concept of heterosexuality by majority groups within society (Legato, 2011). Some evidence suggests the label of ‘gay men and lesbians’, and ‘homosexuals’, are imbued with different meanings. Connell (1992) noted the label of ‘homosexual’ as a noun, reduces sexual orientation to a human being that is frequently associated with mental illness and alcoholics as a deviant group; evidenced in the work of sociology of deviants. This is less true for the label of ‘gay men and
