Abstract	With both the content and methods of instruction about patriotism differing from one society to another and within a given society from one educational institution to another, this paper describes a framework for analyzing the teaching of patriotism and illustrates how such a framework can be used in comparing patriotism instruction across societies and educational institutions. The illustrations are drawn from typical textbooks used in general-education courses that focus on national history and government in the first two years of college in Indonesia and in U.S. higher-education institutions particularly in two-year community colleges. After addressing the question of patriotism as a moral matter, the presentation describes an analytic framework for comparing the patriotism content of textbooks. Five influential conditions in Indonesia and the United States affect the nature of patriotism instruction: (1) demographic diversity; (2) sociocultural philosophy; (3) political stability; (4) locus of control; and (5) international relations. The textbooks from each country differ in behavior expected of patriots, treatment of controversial issues, assessment of past and present political figures in the nation, and appraisal of present and past government administrations.
