This year's Nobel season has not ended, but there have been six Jewish descent who received this noble award, including: 3 scientists awarding the Nobel Prize in chemistry: Arieh Warshel, Michael Levitt and Martin Karplus; Francois Englert won the Nobel Prize in physics and two scientists James E. Rothman, Randy W. Schekman was honored in the Nobel Prize for medicine, along with another.

There are 5 reasons for this trend:
1. Syndrome of the tiny David and the giant Goliath: From the perspective of being a persecuted nation, Jews always try to rise. Clearly, population size does not allow Jews to become the world's leading race. Therefore, taking the lead is considered a way for them to assert their position.
2. Social origins: Jewish people must listen to hundreds of times the funny story about mothers who also want their children to become doctors or lawyers, or at least get a person who does the above two jobs. In fact, this reflects much expectation when it turns into pressure on children to go to college. In a highly demanding educational system, pre-shaping will make more and more people enter the field of medicine and law, then they will succeed.
3. Religion is knowledge: Overall, Judaism attaches great importance to education and analysis, though it is not considered a doctrine that must be heart-wrenching. The thought of '2 Jews - 3 comments' is deeply rooted in the culture of this people. Jews do not accept superficial, superficial values, but always go into the 'why' and 'how' questions in all everyday situations. They appreciate the analysis, while other religions value the dogma.
4. Mechanism of existence: After the destruction of the Second Temple (the Second Temple) - a Jewish religious and religious center on the Olive Mountains, this group is well aware of whether they need to be literate to continue to collect and practice the religion. This polity or word has helped the Jewish religion to exist, to bring this group of people from assimilation by surrounding civilizations. That is a dominant advantage of Jews since the Middle Ages.
5. Jews - outsiders: Because of these ways of thinking, the Jews learned so carefully that they did not trust others. Intensive assessments claim that Jews born to serve the world have enabled them to look through their own prism. If someone is always preoccupied with the question of going to the same 'truth' they will plunge into research, analysis and eventually be rewarded with unexpected discoveries.
