My older brother is left-handed, but my younger brother and I are right. So are my parents.

a lot of people are born left handed....but most are tought to be righty (before it's noticable whether they're righty or lefty). Right handed people live longer. Being lefty, and always using your left hand, puts more strain on your heart, causing your heart to die earlier than if you're righty.

is it because society brought them up that way? or is it just a natural cause?

No, because God loves only right handed people.

A variant of the above argument says that left-handed people have an advantage in fighting without weapons, because of the "surprise" factor. (This fact is well known to boxers.)

A 2004 study by Charlotte Fauriet and Michel Raymond of the University of Montpellier II in France, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, argues that there is such a link. The researchers hypothesize that left-handed inheritance is likely to be associated with violence, because violent left-handed people would be more likely to benefit from the advantage in fighting. They found a positive correlation between murder rates and percentage of left-handed people in several traditional societies: The more left-handed people, the higher the homicide rate.
