Memetics is sort of related to genetics.
A meme is a thought that seems to acquire a life of its own.
It propogates, sometimes evolves.
Like a religion.
Some hold that it is possible for an idea of the right kind to totally
modify a society - sometimes for the better, sometimes not.
We can see this happening all around us if we look.
These can explain much better than I:
