Assignment part 3

Facial Asymmetry is something that is inherent in mankind, that some researchers believe is controlled by the way the brain works. A child might have freer range of asymmetry because he has not trained his face to meet societal standards, unlike an adult, as the child is more "expressive."

Some argue that the

right side of the face is more consciously controlled in its expressiveness than the left side of the face, which is more spontaneous in its expressive movements. This is because the

right hemisphere of the brain is dominant in emotional expression, it is thus expected that the left side of the face should reveal more emotional intensity than the right side of the face.

Areas on the left were found to be significantly larger than those on the right in right-handers. Left-handers were inconsistent in facial asymmetry, but they tended to have larger facial areas on the right than the left. Sex was especially significant for left-handers.

Faces of men and women showed that half of his right hand over left, is more pronounced, which gives the face a more serious, courageous traits inherent in the male sex. The left half of face n the other hand shows no serious side contours, which gives it a soft, sleek curves and femininity.
