A meme is a thought or action that acts like a virus. A meme lodges in your brain (conceptually not literally) and exists as a thought only to reproduce itself. If you were violently whipped as a child, then you have a meme in your brain that wants to violently whip children in order to reproduce itself in their young and vulnerable brains. You yourself may be consciously horrified at the thought, but you still find yourself whipping your children because you have a meme in your brain.
Most of human behavior is the unconscious activity of memes that we have programmed in our brains.
