From Patriotism to Globalism: A continuous social change mirrored in Israeli textbooks

Abstract

Abstract

Globalization processes have been accelerating since the early 1990s, and thus, the Israeli society is also experiencing substantial changes. Within these changes, symbols, beliefs, and new values are adopted to replace the old ones. Evidence of the societal change can be traced, mainly, in the Israeli economy. Over the years, a significant increase has occurred in the use of international scenery, values, and norms. This article examines whether this extensive use of global motifs in Israeli society is also evident in the educational system that during its early days adhered to patriotic motifs.

Keywords: globalization – patriotism – social change – school textbooks.
