Abstract: Summary In this paper we present a model which allows to discriminate between two kinds of behavior connected with areas which we will call personal and economic. It seems that an attitude with regard to the personal area spreads in a different way than that with regard to the economic area. We assume that each agent tries to influence its neighbors, but in the personal area the information flows inward from the neighborhood (like in most opinion dynamic models), whereas in the economic area the information flows outward from the agent or group of agents to the neighborhood (like in the Sznajd model).
