Great Ads 1 (Are you left-handed?)

  1. Here is a great advertisement. As far as I´m concerned this add is trying to appeal to both sides of the brain, in other words, it is trying to tell the viewer that mercedes´cars are great for both hemisfeers of the brain.
    Now, about which side I identify better, I probably am a more racional human been so I´ll say I identify most with left side of my brain, though the right hemisfeer of my brain works pretty good, but only when it is needed!
    To sum up I just wanted to say that this is an exemple of a great advertisement, the kind of ads that makes you think and stays on your head for a long time!

  2. Left-handed people are (supposedly) more creative, passionate people. Yet, you're right, we all have two hemispheres and therefore should use both!

  3. Although this advertisement was made by Mercedes Benz, I’m not going to talk about cars, but about my personality.

    Well, I’m a left-handed and I identify better with the right side of my brain, because I’m a creative and spontaneous person. I love art, music and theatre. I enjoy feeling free. Everybody say to me that I'm a box full of surprises.
    I'm not a big fan of the left brain, because I don't enjoy a lot maths and sciences, although I am realistic and practical. I'm not linear, besides I hate daily routines. I enjoy doing always something different.

  5. I didn´t know this advertisement was made by Mercedes but since it is I can relate to the right and to the left side!
    Why? Simple! I know I am a controlled person but in my free time I am energetic, vivid and I bring amusement to every room and every place I am in!
    The artistic world appeals to me, not in the part of art like painting, but in the part of music, dancing and theatre, three things that I love and that I do or watch in my free time... for example when I am studding, I am listening to music, I am singing and if I am trying to estruturate something I can also break some moves!
    Everybody has is left side too, but some peoples have under controlled, which means that can have fun when it´s time for that and other people seem like they only use that side. I love math and I can be realistic, although people call me naive, thing that I am not, I just want to be happy and I don´t care about little things because they will not breaks me, they are just other objects for me to jump over. To me, that is being strategic, which is another point on the felt brain.
    To sum up, I am a very versatile person because I use both parts, and I adequate my behavior according to the situation, one simple thing that not many people can do!

  6. This advertisement, as Henrique said, is great. Artistically, it is amazing!!!
    But, dispite it's greatness, this add, in my opinion, doesn't show the reality!!
    People's brain and personality are the fusion of the features of left and right brain. Human being, as a species at development,can be artistic and strategic or even be mathematician and free spirit at the same time. In my opinion, our personality adapts to where and the way we live(similar to Darwin's theory). So, people can have a 'mix' of personalities.
    Talking about me...I identify myself, without doubts , with the right side of the brain, despite of the fact that I'm right-handed.
