we will have to understand how culture (i.e. original definition of memes: cultural attitudes, bits of knowledge, generalized narratives) is a collective action in which we all participate.
In essence it works by mimicry. we mimic our peers and our peers mimic us. we just gotta be careful about what we mimic.
the tricky part is that this process is largely (but not entirely) subconscious. and also it takes a lot of focus and well applied effort to change previously learned behaviors. specially when "everyone else (within you social circles) does this"
