the
meme
was
conceived
as
a
"
unit
of
culture
"
(
an
idea
,
belief
,
pattern
of
behaviour
,
etc
.)
which
is
"<
strong
>
hosted
strong
>"
in
the
minds
of
one
or
more
individuals
,
and
which
can
<
strong
>
reproduce
itself
in
the
sense
of
jumping
from
the
mind
of
one
person
to
the
mind
of
another
strong
>.
Thus
what
would
otherwise
be
regarded
as
one
individual
influencing
another
to
adopt
a
belief
is
seen
as
an
<
strong

idea

replicator
