Due to the muscular and skeletal structure of the shoulders they rotate exactly at the same time. You can not rotate onl with out the other. This is phsyically impossible. Try to shrug one shoulder without the other shoulder going the other direction or turn one shoulder without the other turning. You can shrug both shoulders together because this is a balanced movement on both sides of the spine.

Shoulders operate as one unit that is connected through the spine as the center point.
