“Culture”
“A matrix of shared mental maps that define how we collectively create meaning and understand the world around us. Inevitably, popular culture is an ever evolving, contested space of struggle, where competing voices, experiences, and perspectives fight to answer the questions” Whose maps determine what is meaningful? Whose stories are considered true?”
-Smartmeme

Dominant and Popular Culture
“As certain ideas, practices and worldviews become normalized over time, they form a dominant or popular culture that disproportionately represents institutional interests and perpetuates the stories that validate certain agendas.”

FACTS ARE MEANINGLESS
“Narrative Analysis suggests that the problem is not necessarily what people don’t know (the facts). Rather, the problem may be what they do know (underlying assumptions).”
In other words… people have existing stories about their world that may act as narrative filters to prevent them form hearing certain messages.

Memes
Memes are units of self-replicating cultural information such as slogans, iconic images that can be easily referenced, catch phrases, symbols, or rituals. Memes can act as capsules for stories to spread virally through cultures.

Who are the characters that will help solve the problem?
