That our minds , our views, are in a way a product of ”society” is trivially true. The most important part of our environment is its social part; thought, in particular, is very largely dependent on social intercourse; language, the medium of thought, is a social phenomenon.

But it simply cannot be denied that we can examine thoughts, that we can criticize them, improve them, and further that we can change and improve our physical environment according to our changed, improved thoughts.

And the same is true of our social environment. (Karl Popper: the Open Society and its Enemies)
