Abstract
- We investigate majority rule dynamics in a population with two classes of people, each with two opinion states $\pm 1$, and with tunable interactions between people in different classes. In an update, a randomly selected group adopts the majority opinion if all group members belong to the same class; if not, majority rule is applied with probability $\epsilon$. Consensus is achieved in a time that scales logarithmically with population size if $\epsilon\geq \epsilon_c=\frac{1}{9}$. For $\epsilon<br />Comment: Main text: 5 pages, 6 figures.
