Firstly, for those of you who are not familiar with the 7th Grade Health curriculum, we are covering predominant brain sides, the logic side (mine!) and the gestalt (a German word, as well as my friend's side). Gestalt people are more likely to have random outbursts, be more active learners (as in has to play with something or run around to learn), and generally more social. The current school curriculum is more based for logic people. Basically, logic people are like Vulcans, for those of you Star Trek fans out there, with little room for emotion, a head for numbers, sequencing, and writing.
Now, my friend and I wondered if the world would be a better place if the world would be a better place if entirely populated with logic or gestalt people. The gestalts would be random, and have no order, yet logic people would be stuck in a rut of conformity, and be uncompassionate. We came to an agreement that the world needed both people to be a good place.
Also, just an interesting note, when our teacher told the gestalt and logic people to get together by function and read about their functions to their fellow brain-mates, the gestalts run and jumped and shouted when they got together at first, whereas us logic people quietly sat around our hexagonal table.
Just a picture of the brain, similar to the one we have at school in front of the MS Office. This has functions, however does not label the logic side of the brain (usually the left) or the gestalt side (usually the right).
I'm in a rush today, so no citations for now!
