Boys and Girls: Their Difference

Boys and Girls: Their Difference

Differences on way of thinking of boys and girls Do you ever wonder why men and women thinks differently?

Scientifically speaking, there are two hemispheres of the brain--left and right. The left hemisphere is responsible for the logical, analytical, and/or dominant in language: processing what you hear and handling most of the duties of speaking, in short, IQ; while the right hemisphere is mainly in charge of spatial abilities, face recognition and processing music, in short, EQ.

Base on a research, it shows that when men and women listen to a passage being read aloud from a novel, only the left hemisphere in the male brains was activated. In the other hand, women demonstrated activity in both the left and right hemisphere. The woman's brain is more accustomed to words and sounds. Women tend to learn to speak earlier than men. It could also explain why women excel at learning languages. In a study, women scored well on attention, word and face memory, and social cognition, while men performed better on spatial processing and sensori-motor speed. These differences might explain why men, in general, tend to be better at learning and performing a single task, like cycling or navigating, whereas women are more equipped for multitasking, say the researchers in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

We may all be equipped differently depending on our gender, but there is no doubt that each of us is an individual. We are a product both of our specific strengths and weaknesses as well as of our background and culture. Our differences may seem incredibly frustrating at times, but they can also be used to our advantage. There is no winning the battle of the sexes, but the better we know one another, the more likely we can take the world on together.
