Sociomemetics
The science of the influence of memes upon individuals within a group context.

Theoretical Sociomemetics includes studying the way in which prejudices, cultural beliefs, social conditioning, roles and responsibilities, are determined and perpetuated by society, peer groups, and social organisations.

Practical Sociomemetics deals with use of subliminals, persuasion, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, psychomanipulation, word framing, advertising, madverts and peer pressure to create a desired mindset. See also countersociomemetics.
