The Three Poisons

In "The Three Poisons, Institutionalized" you discuss problems of society.  Living in our modern world, where politics, media, and corporations have such strong social force, how can someone break free of the poisons they create short of ostracizing themselves?  Even if one was able to recognize and understand the source of Dukkha that cultural norms create, it is still impossible to not be influenced by the collective-self.  Is just being aware of the problem enough?
