Hobbes and Locke, the seventeenth century philosophers, are known for their political philosophies on human nature and the development of social societies and governments by this. These features can be seen in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe clearly and they can be scrutinized in this respect, for Defoe's views on human nature are similar to these two philosophers' thoughts. We can recognize both the individualism and egocentricity in Robinson Crusoe's character, and his fears and doubts that depict human nature perfectly. Moreover, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which was written as a satire on human nature in the same period with Robinson Crusoe, also points out and criticizes different emotions in human psychology.

The Anglo-American Support for Zionism, Israel from Emergence to Empowerment, 2020

the very earliest times before and after the birth of the Zionist movement moving by the
Israeli statehood to the nowadays Anglo-American-Israeli relations. It tries to explore why
only the United States and Britain did assist the Zionists and kept supporting them until today.
Besides, it examines the characteristics of such support that was unprecedented in history. As
Jews were persecuted and hated all over the world, they found a window of hope in the British
and American political arena. Therefore, adopting a historically oriented qualitative method
focused on politics, culture and religion, this research investigates the reasons that shaped the
British and American foreign policies, which began with sympathy and ended with a blind
and costly support. Gradually, this work traces back the history of Jews, and then follows the
Zionists’ rise in influence starting with Britain that hosted the Zionist project to, finally,
handing it to the U.S. This research provides a clearer understanding on how religion, culture
and history shaped the British and the American foreign policies towards Zionism and Israel.
