Why are Jews intelligent and rich?

Why are Jews intelligent? This question was worried by the rest of the people at all times. Somehow it was considered that Jews are a clever and rich people. Indeed, among the representatives of this nation, it is very rare to find people working in the professions - builders, railway workers, janitors, etc. But a lot of Jews, whose profession is connected with creativity (artists, photographers, poets, writers, designers, singers and producers) or requires a highly developed intellect (scientists, philosophers, chess champions). Yes, even if you just take a look at the statistics of Nobel laureates, 20% of the awards were received by representatives of this people, and in completely different sectors (in physics, chemistry, economics, and fiction). So why are the Jews so clever? Is it really in their blood? Are they the highest nation on our planet? Let's try to figure this out.

It can not be categorically stated that Jews are the most intelligent people. After all, all nations are different and each one's representatives are good in their own way. African-Americans, for example, are excellent players in basketball, and Brazilians are just aces in football. But there are still wonderful and world-famous Americans, Germans, Russians ... We all belong to the Homo Sapiens, the Homo sapiens, and so we all have the same initial start in the development of our mental abilities, no matter what national roots we have. However, not so long ago, Stephen Volkley from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine conducted research, which showed that the nation in question is smarter than the rest genetically. But why are the Jews intelligent? What and when did this contribute? Several different theories answer this question.

1. Religious. Perhaps the heavenly powers chose the Jewish people in order to reward them with all sorts of talents, in particular extraordinary mental abilities. Such a response would suit many people who consider themselves believers. But let's talk further.

2. It is not a secret for anybody, how many Jews, in their whole history of existence, have suffered troubles, persecutions, persecutions, repressions. One of the versions reads: "Why are Jews intelligent? Because they have a higher coefficient of mental development, precisely because of the long persecutions that forced them to hone their intellect, just to survive. " This is believed with even greater difficulty, because if a father has spent his whole life honing his intellect for survival, this does not mean that he will have a more intelligent son than himself. And so on. This is nonsense. And the Jews were considered smart even long before they settled in Europe.

3. Writer and scientist Charles Murray in his own way answered the question of why the Jews are intelligent. He believes that the growth of intelligence of this people happened due to the fact that Judaism became such a religion in which teaching and learning became more important factors than observance of all these religious rituals.

4. The Jews themselves, it turns out, are modest people and they never say that they are the smartest, but they say that they just try not to be stupid, lead a righteous, and therefore a correct way of life. And the reward for all that they achieve is wealth. Moreover, the last for the Jews is a reward given from above, that is, by God ("God" and "wealth", as you can see, words of the same root), and it is in the family and good relations with people, and not at all in money. So, here are four factors that, according to the Jews themselves, help them to be smarter:

- upbringing;

- habits;

- thinking;

Behavior.

Well, one more question that worries many: why are Jews rich? The answer is simple - just because they are smart. That's all. Although no, not all. Wealth in the plan of money floats to them in hands, as they:

1. Reasonably approach to spending money.

2. Have a normal desire to earn (and not at all fraudulently).

3. Constantly make savings and make investments.

4. Make insurance for cases of illness, force majeure, etc.

5. Moderate in everything.

5. Have a certain philosophy of life (Jewish).
