BRAIN

What do you know about your brain? What is the function? This are some information that can relate to your brain and its function. firstly, our brain is come from inside of our body which is in our head. our brain can control many things like thinking, control our body functional, and control our mind else well. When our brain keep thinking, it will called critical thinking. what is critical thinking by the way? it is a thought process that considers both sides of equation before concluding something to be true. In critical literacy, we learn about left hemisphere and right hemisphere. before we move on to the other point, these are the definition of left and right hemisphere. 

Left brain hemisphere.
  • In tune with only one's very own concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality which is called an intrapersonal skills.
Right brain hemisphere.
  • Is emphatic to the other concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality which is called an interpersonal skills.
Besides that, when we combined our left brain thinking and right brain thinking, it will create a moment which is called an EUREKA moment or people often said as a synergistic or holistic moment.

for example:
  • When the first time you got your new hand phone, you do not know how to unlock it but at some time, your friend teach you how to unlock the hand phone and after that, you know how to unlock the hand phone. That moment is called an eureka moment.

This is a land diving that practiced by the native people from Vanuatu. It is a ritual performed by a boy who are ready to become men.

Lets get back to our topic. This will what happen to the people who are using left brain hemisphere and right brain hemisphere. Both of it will have a different style of perception. These are the examples taken from the note given :

Left hemisphere analysis.
  • The tradition of land diving among the native of Vanuatu as a way to remove illness is appalling. Removing illness should be the least of their worries because jumping from a seven storey tower may end their lives completely.
Right hemisphere analysis.
  • For centuries the native of Vanuatu had been taught to take precautionary steps to ensure the safety of the jumper such as selecting the best vines and performing it only during the dry months. Besides, only the jumper who is fit and able, and granted permission by the elders, who can undertake this astonishing feat.
Land diving (Nangol) in Vanuatu is now one of the most famous activities around the world that being practice until now.

  1. Brain function is necessary for a human to move, speak, think, and feel. The general purpose of the brain is to generate unified action; the brain first brings information from sense organs together at a central location. Each part of the brain has its certain function that is very critical.
