Abstract: Based on the Ising spin system and the Sznajd Model (SM), we introduce a new model to study the opinion evolving in SM on square lattices by numerical simulations. In the model, a panel of four neighboring sites are randomly selected at each Monte Carlo step (MCS), around the panel there are eight nearest neighbors. To be more realistic, two basic impacts are considered in the process of the eight individuals' decision-making, i.e., the information governed by the panel of four neighboring sites and the average opinion of the whole community. It is found that our model show many useful and interesting statistical results.
