Abstract: The Sznajd model for the spread of opinions gives a good explanation of the influence among the neighbors, that is the external factor. In this paper, we add an internal factor to Sznajd model, which determines the probability of one's acceptance of other's opinion. We define this factor as social temperature, and we study the relationship between this temperature and time. We also consider the people who do not change their opinions as defenders and analyze their efforts.
