The majority of people, about nine out of ten, are right-handed. Up until recently, people who were left-handed were considered {{U}}(79) {{/U}}, and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today left-handedness is generally {{U}}(80) {{/U}}, but it is still a disadvantage in a world where most people are right-handed. For example, most tools and implements are still {{U}}(81) {{/U}} for right-handed people.
In sports, by contrast, doing things with the left hand or tbot, is often a(n) {{U}}(82) {{/U}} Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the "wrong" side may result in throwing off many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the {{U}}(83) {{/U}} of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many games at a professional level, a {{U}}(84) {{/U}} proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole.
The word "right" in many languages means " correct" or is {{U}}(85) {{/U}} with lawfulness, whereas the words associated with " {{U}}(86) {{/U}}", such as "sinister", generally have negative associations . Moreover, among a number of primitive peoples there is a close association between death and left hand.
In the past, in {{U}}(87) {{/U}} Western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especially to write with. In some cases the left hand was tied behind the child's back so it could not be used. If, in the future, they are {{U}}(88) {{/U}} choose, there will certainly be more left-handers, and probably fewer people with minor psychological disturbances as a result of being forced to use their right hand.
