An important segment of any society is its belief system, mythology, or cosmology. Generally, when the material


aspects of a culture shift, the folklore adjusts to that shift, and a reasonable accommodation is made between beliefs and behaviors. This inquiry examines the dynamics which occur when a disjunction develops between an heretofore inviolate core belief and the attendant behaviors. Specifically, in the United States, among other cultures, the highly venerated icon of motherhood has become demonstrably distinct from the behaviors of mothers. The problem is then addressed: How would a society react or respond to the discrepancy between the imagery of a core pillar to their soci- ety's belief system and the behavior which is expected to be aligned with that imagery?
