Abstract :
In this paper, we analyzed opinion dynamics in large social networks. We utilized so called binary voter algorithm to model the interactions among neighbors in a given network. In particular, each neighbor holds a binary opinion, 0 or 1, and chooses one of his neighbors at random times and adapts the chosen neighbor´s decision. Moreover, there exist two disjoint sets of individuals, which have opposite opinions, and members of these sets do not change their opinions. These two sets represent stubborn people of the society.
